Hi
I have noticed that the dates of certain Binary files is shown as 2017-09-07 for various DD-WRT .bin files (following the Router Database selection process). Once Flashed they show up as 2013-xx-xx. What is the significance of the two dates, which differ for these binaries?

Do not use the router database. Firmware can be found at: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2018/

Hi egc
Thanks for that info. One question, why are there two possible options even available if one is not to be used? I understand the need for a check for Supported and Unsupported Routers but could the Router Database point to the correct locations for the proper Binaries, so as to avoid confusion?

No, none of us can edit the router database. I, personally, would love to have the ability to update the Router database by getting rid of it and having it point to the wiki instead. At least I, and others, can update the wiki.

See the link in my signature for other important info to know before upgrading.

Hi ian5142
I was not meaning any criticism and I fully understand how 'wish lists' grow over time. I fully appreciate all that this forum/website has to offer and I am now getting my bearings. I have been able to successfully convert 5 various units and they are working extremely well. I want to thank all involved in making this possible. Kudos to you all and thank you.
Robert
