I have not been able to get any build since 36104 to load to my Trendnet TEW828DRU routers (one is being used as a bridge). The upload process appears to work, but the routers don't ever come back on-line; even after waiting 60 minutes. After doing the upload, and watching the progress bar for 289 seconds, when I look at the routers the power light flashes in a series of three flashes followed by a longer stretch of on. I turn them off for 30 seconds, but when they come back up, they are still at the 36104 build. There have not been any upgrade issues since I started using DD-WRT more than a year ago; until trying to use any build after 36104. Is there a trick I missed to getting any newer build to install?
Maybe this will be of help. I found those while trying to find where someone had said builds between 36104 and another build all showed 36104 after upgrade, but came up short-handed. Hopefully, someone else can chime in with more info as I am not familiar with your device.

Thanks KP69, I saw the first thread, but not the second. When I bought these routers and loaded DD-WRT the first time, I followed the recommended steps. Until now, all of the subsequent upgrades worked fine through the upgrade/upload screen. I hope I don't have to do a factory reset and start over, but that may just be the case.

I'm curious if this particular device has dual firmware or linux partitions and you have to flash it twice for it to take, but I saw this snippet in another thread:

I couldn't upgrade from the old build without using the router's built in recovery page, which is frustratingly usual for this router, but 30605 seems to run well on this router after flashing it.
Not sure if you know how to access that particular mechanism on your router (I don't), but that is another avenue to explore. May also be a matter of TFTP flashing as well. Which is kind of tricky, but. I couldn't even find a wiki or anything on this unit, so I'm kinda drawing straws.

I am not sure of that piece (dual firmware). I have not had to do anything special for any of the dozen or so previous upgrades. Hopefully, someone else will have an idea on the correct steps. Thank you!

Another thread I found. jwh7 mentions the method for using TFTP flashing in there:
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2018 20:24 Post subject: The change that worked!
I have been attempting to do the upgrade through an iMac running the latest OS and Firefox browser. I changed to a PC running Windows 10 Pro 64bit and IE v11. For some reason, this worked and I was able to upgrade the routers! Not sure why the system and/or browser should have any affect, but it sure seems to have!
The upgrade process said the upgrade was successful, and my router turns on; it appears to be working, but it is no longer reachable. (Can't ping, can't access). My system shows it is connected, but I'm not sure what to do now. I have done two hard resets (30-30-30), but no change. The router does appear to reset about every 2~3 minutes as all of the port lights flash on and then go off, and then the port that is connected lights back up. Any ideas of what to try next?
