I'm sorry, that was the one I intended to link to.

For clarification, I'm using the instructions here:
https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R6300v2#Other_Non-v2_Hardware

I forgot to add the link in my last reply. I'm supposed to flash the firmware from the Netgear interface, right? Or do I need to use tftp or something else?

Okay. So it won't even update to the latest stock firmware via the stock interface. It's currently at firmware V1.0.4.8_10.0.77 and it won't update at all to the latest at Netgear's website. Do I need to just return this refurbished one and get one off the shelf instead, or did Netgear do something in response to 2016's EU ruling? If I get a stock non-Charter one, is there a good chance I'll have similar problems, or will it be easier?

I switched over to Tomato a few years back for the CTF support. But DDWRT added it about a year ago. Now that its been a year... how has everyone's experience been with getting 150Megabit+ speeds using ddwrt on WAN? And what build have you been using?

I just upgraded my R6300v1 today, thanks for adding it to the list. Finally able to get my full 300 download speeds not to mention being able to max out the TX power on wireless. I'm hoping I won't have to reboot the router every week just to get access to the config page too.

I'm having one issue however; I can't get either FTP or DLNA working on an external drive. It's a self powered 3.5" drive enclosure that I had running on the stock firmware through readyshare. The drive partition is NTFS which should be supported if I read correctly and it's already auto-mounted to /tmp/mnt/sda1. I have attached a screenshot of the configuration on the USB tab. Whenever I try to change anything in the NAS tab and click save or apply settings nothing happens.

I have tried changing the settings on two different PCs and on my phone. I have also tried two versions of chrome and firefox and see the same issue regardless. Any suggestions?

You don't mention what build you are on. So I will bet you have been to the router database and are on broken build 37305. If so USB>NAS was broken. Upgrade should fix it. Newest firmware is found in links in white in my sig.
Do not use the router database, it is rarely up to date.

That's probably it, I'm on 37305. I'll use the latest build and reply back if I have other issues. Thanks.

Just wanted to update that I use R6300v1, and in the last couple of days I was struggling to find a version that works well on my R6300v1.

In version 37582 I had high loads of CPU every couple of minutes, which basically killed the internet connection in the house (eventlist is full messages in /var/log/messages)

I then tried 35531, and that version caused my chromecast to stop functioning (devices on the network couldn't detect it). I've also noticed that I can't access all devices on my LAN.

I then downgraded to 33555 (without the KRACK fix, not sure if it is the reason or not), and so far things seem OK.

Can you achieve gigabit speed with the release you're working with?

Here https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R6300 it talks about limitations and it suggests to switch to tomato or stock but your "currently" working release shouldn't have the problem.

Sorry I don't have Gbit WAN to test with. Also since I wrote that post I feel like my inet acess is slower (cant reach my 100Mbit), not sure whether to blame ddwrt or the ISP.

Just got a Charter version Netgear R6300v2

But there is no Initial firmware anymore on Kong's site,

http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/Initial/dd-wrt.K3_R6300V2CH.chk

The
http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/dd-wrt.K3_R6300V2CH.chk file was rejected by Charter R6300v2.

What can I do? Sad

OK, found some comment here.
https://www.myopenrouter.com/comment/40873#comment-40873

Quote:
use telnetenable

run command

telnetenable 192.168.1.1 ROUTERSMACADDRESS admin password

then use putty to connect to telnet 192.168.1.1 port 23

type command

burnboardid U12H240T00_NETGEAR

then type command

nvram set board_id=U12H240T00_NETGEAR

then you should be able to update your charter netgear R6300v2CH from 1.0.3.6CH to the standard V1.0.4.2 and then install DD-WRT for R6300v2


So I enabled the telnet (used NTE 0.5 utility for Windows though, http://www.antinode.info/nte/index.html) and ran above 2 commands in bold successfully.

Also successfully flash newest Netgear R6300v2 firmware
http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/R6300V2/R6300v2-V1.0.4.34_10.0.92.zip and now it's a pure Netgear R6300v2 router!

So now I just flash the router with
http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/dd-wrt.K3_R6300V2.chk ?

Well, decided to try fresh tomato firmware.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but since many responses to "I'm stuck in the reset loop" seem to be "you need to use a serial cable":

For people stuck in the reset loop with the r6300v2: I have managed to reflash stock firmware without using a serial cable a few times. If you do a 30/30/30 reset and watch the ping responses, there is a short window of time (around 2 seconds) where u can get a response and quickly use the NMRPFLASH method as described in "Guide to unbricking v1.33" posted here: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1139019#1139019.

Worth a shot before buying the cable.


That being said, I can't get this damn thing to work with any custom firmware. I tried initially with my vpn providers custom firmware, then latest Kong (from http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/), and then openwrt, all of which resulted in the reset loop which I then reverted back to stock. Is there anything left to try? Or is this thing busted?

With a serial cable you could see what is happening when you try to install any custom firmware. So you may want to buy one anyway mits only a few dollars and any custom firmware user should have one.

Yea fair enough! Thought it was worth adding though.

I recently acquired an AC1450 which I understand is the same hardware as the r6300v2. As another post mentioned the “initial” directory is missing on Kong’s website.

http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/

Can I just flash the .chk file with AC1450 in the name? Can anyone confirm that this is a good build to use for this router?

This is the stable build from Kong.
If you want to try the latest test builds, you can upgrade from the dd-wrt gui with a bin file.
