I am flashing <Kong>'s build on it once it arrives. As far as I gather this is a CH variant (i.e. from the ISP Charter). Various threads of information suggests it needs different handling on flash:
There you can find the initial install file and if you are lucky an install guide (you are lucky )
Thank you egc~ I did find the install guide (2nd link in bottom of post). The information there is helpful and I learned about the Charter/CH variant through that page. Though, specific for <kong> build, there are two CHK files --> dd-wrt.K3_R6300V2.chk & dd-wrt.K3_R6300V2CH.chk.
I'd just like to confirm if the dd-wrt.KC_R6300v2CH is indeed intended and sufficient for flashing initial build to a Charter R6300v2. And of course, if anyone here has experienced any 'gotchas' or caveats?
Would it be safe to flash the dd-wrt.K3_R6300V2CH.chk from <Kong>'s PTB? Or it's preferable to go through the old build in installation guide first, and then flash the latest <Kong> build?
At least for now the only one giving size problems and bricking routers were only BS builds newer than 30432. So Kong is safe to flash.
About your 2nd question on 1st post. Yes.
About the 3rd. Read the txt file on the link Malachi gave you. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)

Thanks a lot!
i have two R6300V2 CH, the only file that will work for initial flash from stock of CH version is the following one, which is linked to in the wiki:
1,2 and 3 right. Just flash the bin file if you're upgrading/downgrading, there's no point in reflashing the same version as chk. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)
