Hi All,
New here and I have read tons of articles and what to do that my head is spinning. Simple questions:
1) Where to get the latest firmware for Netgear R6300v2 and Netgear R6300v2ch?
2) Simple install instructions?
I know how to install but I have read factory reset, install .chk file, reboot, update with .bin, do a 30/30/30, one site says no one says you need to do it. I'm just confused. So can someone please give me the answers to questions 1 and 2 and I would be very grateful
so 30/30/30 is useless on Netgear routers, usually reset to factory does the trick better or using telnet/ssh erase nvram, so for first flash use chk file make sure you reset to defaults before flash its good to erase nvram even after flash http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Hard_reset_or_30/30/30

Stick with Kong's builds as newer builds from Brainslayer will brick the router.
Files available from Kong's repository (latest revisions together with some select older ones) or CloneVince's repository (an archive containing older builds and latest builds).

First off thanks for all the responses as I have taken the route Kong's 31100 and worked like a charm as I have 4 Netgear R6300v2 and especially when you back up old working 6300v2 prior to upgrading. Reason for asking is I bricked my original and all it does is loop and reboot cant ping as it reboots after 15 sec. I have done all the reset stuff 30-30-30 or just short taps on the reset - still loops. This leads me into next question of how to debrick it. Cable has been ordered and should be here 1/12/17 and I have what I hope is how to do it. Does anyone one have the proper instructions on what software and order to do this procedure. Again thanks for all information supplied earlier now just want to try my hand at debricking process. I also will apologize if this is not the proper place to ask this

It's the right place, but you are not following the right process. First search on forum or Google and then ask if you got stuck. Check out this

Xeon2k8 - I appreciate the link and instructions but reason for the post was Looking for Instructions
I / you / others all post scenarios on try this and do that and don't do this or that. I indicated I do research and find multiple articles - When asking for help I include as much info as possible so it keeps it simple and understandable to whomever reads the posting. So thanks again for the link and info now waiting for my serial cable and with some luck and good info might give me some good footing to Unbrick this puppy..
((The following is how I got into my r6300v2CH router. I was able to turn the router into a non Charter router with the process that I went through.
You have to make sure that Telnet is installed and functioning on Windows or Linux system that you are using. I used a Windows 7 Home Premium system.
Once Telnet is on your Windows 7 system go to the following website : http://www.antinode.info/nte/index.html and download the command line program nte.exe under the executable kit and put it in an accessible directory. (You must know how to use command line for the program and telnet) Go to the directory where nte.exe is and execute the program. It will give you instructions on what to do. This program is for the enabling of telnet in the router. (This was the only way that I could get telnet to function on my system. Putty didn't work. It would give me the same problem over and over about how the login was incorrect. nte.exe fixed this problem.) After following the instructions and executing the program properly you should be told at command line that the program has enabled telnet in the router.
Open cmd.exe (I ran it as Admin just to make sure of the following) from command line type in Telnet to activate Telnet.
Telnet will expect you to type something like the following
o 192.168.1.1 23 - this is the routers IP address and port 23
Assuming all is going well for you, your command line interface will change to a # symbol.
Then type in the following that is also listed in one of the above posts:
burnboardid U12H240T00_NETGEAR
nvram set board_id=U12H240T00_NETGEAR
To my understanding the above are commands for the router to change the ID of the router which will then allow you to flash new firmware. When the two router commands have been executed you can get out of telnet and go back to the router interface through your web browser and flash the firmware that you need to. For me I my first flash was to firmware
stock V1.0.4.2....
after that I installed the most recent version of DD-WRT to my router and it works perfectly.
After Thoughts:
I just posted this information to add to what others had here in this thread as I wanted others to see another option for getting into their router. I tried a lot of the above mentioned methods including using PUTTY and none of them would work. After a day of ripping out my hair as I had never used Telnet or PUTTY before I found the website above and used it to solve my issues with flashing DD-WRT to two r6300v2 Charter routers. They both work great and I am tickled to once again have routers with DD-WRT on them.))
