I'm pretty sure that this won't effect me and even though I may be asking a compeletely daft question - but what's 128K for?


Newer netgear units come with 128K nvram. The R6400 that I just ported has 128K nvram. I also know that the R7300 has 128K, but have no such unit at the moment.

This is more for informational purposes than anything; the R7000 has 128K as well. Would it be safe to flash the 128K build on the R7000, if someone accidentally grabbed the wrong file? If not, would it just not work, or could it potentially damage the R7000?

I was thinking the same thing. I don't have a serial cable to recover should my router be bricked, but if there is a simple and safe "get the output of X command" that would be good, too.


Count me in. I'm willing to run test scripts on my R8500 as well, if that helps.

Thanks either way Kong!

Web-updated from BS r29837. No problem. Still got some TX packets errors (less than 1%) and no "stable" wifi on my iPhone 6S (during a speedtest the speed varies from 70 to 30 to 40 to 60mbps etc..). On Atheros device I get always fixed at the maxiumum 70mbps.

Router:EX6200
Firmware:june 11
Kernel:?
Status:GUI not working, WAN and LAN ok
Reset:No
Errors: Gui not working

My first message to tell you that I did the update to the latest version available but that the GUI is not accessible.
I can't connect to the web interface, even after reboot or restarting httpd.
I can acess through SSH, and httpd -p 80 returns errors (I will copy that later tonight)

By the way, the ddup method never worked, seems like the validation process is the culprit as it ends with invalid firmware, even If I try a local update through ssh. Also, it erases the firmware file...

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Same build has different kernel on different machines but for firmware...sure


People might not always use same firmware on the same router. Some use big, some use mini etc. That is why the standard format is as it is.

Done it intuitionally...router works with only one flaw but don't know if depends on that....next time I use standard to rule it out

Netgear r7000 Kong 29875

Available 256Kb RAM looks fine. Specs say 128Kb flash memory, which by definition reads closely enough to NVRAM to be synonymous.... Are they?

MNVRAM = 64Kb, so I'm just wondering if it's correct and what determines the setting.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Had a similar problem after upgrading a few builds back. Did a reset and after that wifi was stable again

Edit2:My bad, 64KB nvram, 128MB Flash

My R8000 with DD-WRT v3.0-r29875M kongac (06/11/16) only shows 64kb of NVRAM

Working perfectly over the last two builds (full reset and manual reconfiguration 1 build ago).
