Edit: this was meant for that other forum, but thanks for referencing this.
This is the first time I've seen this! This is exciting, so I can try this build. My question is, does the newest build r35681 work also? I've been trying that with no success. Are these backwards compatible? Or what is the latest working build?
I have just bought from BestBuy, think have the newer chipset as it won't take so far, just gets into bootloops and reverts back to linksys. I will try again tonight with this build and the newer one. What do yall recommend?
Thank you so much, was about to return this, I have more hope now
I bought a new Linksys router wrt3200acm today. I tried to install DD-WRT software several times, and whenever I go back to the Linksys to your repertoire.
Follow the most recent new build threads for user feedback.
I also have a Linksys wrt1900acs but because I wanted a slightly more powerful router I decided to buy a brand new Linksys wrt3200ACM router. Currently my WRT3200ACM router is running Linksys proprietary firmware this version 1.0.6.186168.
I have Norton Security and it also has a firewall, but I successfully installed wrt1900acs on DD-WRT even though Norton Security Premium has been enabled and I have a chrome browser.
OpenWRT firmware was successfully installed on my new Linksys WRT3200ACM router, but DD-WRT cannot be installed by any means. I tried to install several DD-WRT versions that have been recommended in this forum thread, but I have not had succeed in what DD-WRT An assembly
I'm really in a desperate situation. Is there any solution to this problem? Why did OpenWRT install without problems but I can't install DD-WRT?
I have tried installing Firefox, Chrome and Explorer browsers, but the installation will fail. OpenWRT was installed in 2 partition and I booted the router via SSH connection with command 1 to the partition that had the Linksys firmware installed.
I am now a one days trying to install DD-WRT software but I have had no luck. I am very frustrated and annoyed about this. I have ordered the Netgear R7800 router for myself and it is quite similar to what WRT3200ACM router.
Some other DD-WRT users have also decided to give up the WRT3200ACM router because of this issue and have purchased the Netgear R7800 router. I believe my life will be easier with the Netgear R7800 router.
I have to tell you that I really did not expect such a problem that DD-WRT could not be installed. I have taken off Norton and AdBlocker but it did not help.
verkkokauppa.com which I have ordered the Netgear R7800 router so it does not have them in stock and they ordered them. They will only be delivered to warehouse within 12-16 days and estimated delivery time is 30.12.2019-6.1.2020. Not fun at all This is the router I ordered by cash on delivery, so I pay for it when I pick up a parcel in Finland so I don't have any money here yet: https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/42448/jdsvg/Netgear-Nighthawk-X4S-AC2600-WiFI-reititin
If the DD-WRT installation was successful, I could unsubscribe from Netgear R7800.
I would have been really happy with the WRT3200ACM router if only the DD-WRT installation succeeded. However, this problem is probably because Linksys has upgraded the NAND memory of this router.
However, I managed to install OpenWRT and I just wonder why the DD-WRT can't be installed.
Sorry I was adding a line to my post above. No your router is not defective. The reason I suggested the browsers in my first reply is because their behavior more like the older Firefox/ESR builds.
I can almost guarantee you it's due to a combination of security/firewall (norton/windows battle) and the browser used to flash the factory-to-ddwrt binary.
