Quick question, I'm currently using Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/16/14) kongac on my R7000. However, I'd like to switch to Kong...so can I just download and flash the ddwrt-linksys-wrt1900ac.bin, or do I have to go back to the NETGEAR firmware, THEN flash his ??
If so, will this also reset ALL my settings? Any way to back up my settings?
You already have 'kong' on your router.
The one you want to flash is for a linksys wrt1900ac. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

HUH? I'm confused...I have a Netgear router...
Right and you asked if you can flash the linksys-wrt1900 file. Read what you wrote.

Your settings won't reset unless you reset the router. As to whether you should or not it's up to you.
It is not recommended to save the settings and then restore them. It defeats the purpose of resetting.
Maybe you should do some more reading in the forum. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

I'm running Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r27506 (07/09/15) std from a .chk file I downloaded from http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/ onto my new R7000. It is running fine.
I want to update, especially to use OpenVPN 2.3.8. Today, there are several files in that site dated 07-Sep-2015.
From what I see posted here, it seems I should NOT use dd-wrt.K3_R7000.chk to upgrade, but rather I should use dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_STD.bin ? Is this correct?
If this is correct, then I assume I can just upload the .bin file into the router and re-configure it according the notes I made when first installing the .chk file?
