I would also do a reset after the flash of the netgear firmware. _________________ _________________

Yeah, I had tried that option with no luck.
No not just the drop-down option you have to reset using the reset button on the rt as well, same if you flashed dd-wrt fw (30-30-30 hard reset) or switched back to factory.
Also try these steps (found in Kong readme file):
Quote:
Flashing back to Netgear fw through webif is not supported. To flash back to Netgear firmware,
login via telnet or ssh, then run command:
erase linux
reboot
the router will reboot and start tftpd server (flashing power light indicates tftpd ready).
Now push oem firmware through tftp client:
tftp 192.168.1.1
binary
put R7500v2-V1.0.2.4.img

Hey guys, I know its been a few years since 2016, but I'm having the hardest time reverting my r7500v2 back to stock from DD-WRT v3.0-r37495M kongat (10/28/1 build, and searching through the forum doesn't lead me to anything substantial. I know that kong has a back to stock firmware, but i just cant find it. Any help please?

I ran the back to stock firmware, followed by a 30/30/30 reset, after which I logged into the netgear main page, and all was working fine. For some reason I couldnt telnet to the router, it just wouldnt connect to the ip, but the wireleas radios seem to be working fine. Yet i would still like to run that command that the faq mentions, any ideas? The router is on the latest stock firmware 1.0.3.41
