What about

perhaps have look in /etc/rfc6761.conf ?
Probably not there:
Code:
root@DD-WRT:~# cat /etc/rfc6761.conf
# RFC6761 included configuration file for dnsmasq

You can telnet into the router and type: ddup —flash-latest
That will check if there is new firmware, check the hash for you and flash it if you want. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Great thank you! I will try that. When i goto the main page and check for firmware by typing in my router (R7000) I get V3.0 [Beta] Build 36698 build on 2018-08-22. That is what I was referring to in regards to a newer firmware available. Why is that different from the 5/13/2018 release?
Because Kong, the developer who’s firmware you used from myopenrouter posts his firmware at the link I gave you. He has most of the units that he makes firmware for and tests them first.
Then he contributes his fixes to the main branch where you find the firmware that you mentioned. From the database. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
Asus AC87U
Can't upgrade from 36247 to this build... The update cycle passes (seems) ok. Then web-gui does not work. I kill and restart the httpd server, back into gui and the version still remains 36247.
upd: seems like opera problem, upgraded using edge and everything is ok. _________________ Home router: Asus RT-AC87U, H/W Ver: A2 (DD-WRT v3.0-r33xxx)

EDITED TO DELETE EARLIER POST TO MAINTAIN NEATNESS & CLARITY IN THIS THREAD. (My first attempt had failed - and I seem to have succeeded in third attempt). Posting total experience for the devs...
________________________________________________________
Router Version: Netgear 6400v2
Router Board: original board U12H332T20, but another sticker saying U12H332T30
File: .chk
Kernel: Linux 4.4.151-rc1 #3732 SMP Wed Aug 22 09:38:43 CEST 2018 armv7l
Status: Seems to be working, though showing router as R7000P. Yet to check other functions.
First Attempt to load:
Started from Netgear Version R6400v2-V1.0.2.60_10.0.44
Loaded factory-to-dd-wrt.ckh file via router (browser/Chrome) update. This loaded Fine
Status page showed router as R7000P
Both SSID's were present
Then as per instructions at https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R6300v2#Flashing_Instructions, I used telnet to erase and reboot nvram
Then tried to load the .bin file ... unsure whether it loaded or not
Result DISASTER:
* Only lower SSID showing (I had changed country settings appropriately)
* Router still recognised as R7000P.
* Also issues with internet connection.
* Could not revert back to OEM firmware via router (browser/Chrome) update.
* Had to nmrpflash and go back to where I started.
Second Attempt:
Everything same as during first attempt, except loading the .bin version.
Result was the same disaster which meant...
~ either the instructions to Telnet and erase nvram and reboot were incompatible with 6400v2
~ or maybe the nvram settings were unstable and getting erased during reboot
Thanks to my de-bricking ordeals in the past two weeks I had the confidence to try again !
Third Attempt:
All steps same as second attempt.
Did NOT telnet, but right-away configured both SSIDs to broadcast strong signals. Connected to the internet. Now I have a signal stronger than the original from the Netgear firmware.
Rebooted the router a few times (to enable settings) - the settings hold.
Conclusion (so far): Works for the R6400v2 even though it recognizes the router as R7000P.
Internet is stable on all devices (checked with speedtest.net and got rated speed of 24 Mbps. Checked with WiFi Analyzer ... signals are as stable as with OEM firmware. Maybe a bit stronger, since dd-wrt offers more control to tweak the settings.)

Three minor issues found with this build:
1. Does not recognise the router correctly
2. Internet LED does not glow even when there is an internet connected
3. Disallows upgrade to ANY firmware (ddwrt or Netgear)
Router/Version: Buffalo WZR-1750DHP (May be initial version)
File: buffalo-wzr-1750dhp-webflash.bin
Kernel: Linux 4.4.151-rc1 #3732 SMP Wed Aug 22 09:38:43 CEST 2018 armv7l
Mode: AP
Status: Stable, minor issue during upgrade
Upgrade report:
Method: Direct Upgrade without factory reset
Upgrade from version: DD-WRT 24865M v24sp2 (08/15/14) kongac
Result: Successful with minor issue
All setting can be remain unchanged after upgrade. However, the webui become cannot accessable. The lucky things is due to all (most??) setting can remain without issue so the router can keep operation, including nat to web, wifi access etc.
To resolve this issue, I had login to the router through putty ssh and find out the httpd is running with argument like this:
httpd -p 0
So this is an issue (and I think the only may be) after direct upgrade.
Here is the procedure to resolve this issue:
1. Use ssh client to connect the router lan address (if the router ssh was not enabled before upgrade or inaccessable.....I think the only way is 30-30-30)
2. type
command ps | grep httpd <enter>
to check the httpd running status
3. if the httpd is not running in desire port (80 or 443), run it manually by command
httpd -p 80 <enter>
to activate the router web server
4. Try to access the web ui with browser. If can see dd-wrt status page and can login to ui, you are a lucky guy
5. Go to Administration--> web access, uncheck http, check https, then save & apply
6. relogin web ui with https://<your router addess>
7. Like step 5, but uncheck https and check http this time, save and apply
8. reboot router, thats all.
BTW, is any benefit for this unit with 512MB ram ....since I compared with asus one this unit have more ram....but seems the build cannot fully utilise for this advantage.....any advise to use another build for fully utilise the ram?
