Hello! I would like to try out dd-wrt on my R7800, but I am kinda lost when it comes to what build I should use and what is the process of installing it - and possibly reverting back to the original firmware.

Anyone can point me towards a guide that explains how to install and how to revert back to the stock firmware?
Thank you!
- Flash factory-to-ddwrt.img
- Wait until it FULLY boots up
- admin, admin, admin
- Flash dd-wrt-webupgrade.bin with reset to defaults
- Wait until it FULLY boots up
- Power off router
- Wait 1 min
- Power it back on
- Wait until it FULLY boots up
- Now setup your things

Thank you! Do you also know how I can revert back to the stock firmware in case I run into problems with dd-wrt?
It is stated in this thread. To go back to stock hold on the reset button while powering up. Hold the reset button in for 15 seconds then tftp the netgear firmware. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

There's also this image to flash from Kong's repository, assuming that your router is still working well enough to be able to flash firmware images. I've used it a couple of times (no tftp needed) and it works just fine to go from dd-wrt to stock firmware:
