does it mean we can forget about ddwrt on existing hardware?

EA9300

The EA9300 looks nice.
4 Cores @ 1.8 Ghz Drooool

The routers from linksys (except the wrt line) are locked down from flashing custom firmware from the WebGUI.

Hooking a serial cable up is a different story.

for what its worth... the refurbs are ~$65 right now

is anyone willing to buy a "sacrifice" so these could be opened up?

And another source. This info is really not that hard to find. Google is your friend!

Hi
EA9200 succesfull flashed to DDWRT using ASUS RT-AC3200 DDWRT firmware.

flashed procedure (Use ASUS RT-AC3200 DDWRT firmware)

https://serialize.wordpress.com/2017/02/01/linksys-ea9500-stuff/#flashing

Command :
From CFE prompt execute following. Where 192.168.1.10 is where your tftp server is running.

flash -noheader 192.168.1.10:/asus_rt-ac3200-firmware.trx nflash0.trx

Also you may want to update odmid, model, partial boots and boot partition using


nvram set odmpid=ASUS
nvram set model=RT-AC3200
nvram set bootpartition=0
nvram set partialboots=0
nvram commit

I would think that once you've converted it, flashing upgrades would be done the normal way, but it sure would be nice to have it detected as an EA9200, as I am sure that it's being detected as the ASUS RT-AC3200....

I cannot get this to work on my EA9200. Any update on this model. I tried to modify firmware but it is a bit of a learning curve. Any help would be much appreciated.

Still "TBD": https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Linksys

http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Linksys_EA9200

Not sure if one has been donated to BrainSlayer to port firmware to or not.

I tried all firmware but nothing worked. The closest I got was with ea6900 firmware which show the ddwrt ui but did not show wireless options. I guess it did not recognize the wireless hardware. Summary:
Ea6900 firmware: be able to access ui but no wireless
Asus rt3200: keep rebooting.
Netgear R8000: keep rebooting.

Now Im running stock firmware linksys 1.1.5 which allow me to flash 3rd party firmware from web ui.
Anyone have any idea I can try?

[willybui]

Finally get the asus_rt3200 firmware to work on EA9200.
However, for some reason, 2.4Ghz won't show up. It was there after I flash the firmware the first time. But after I config the router as repeater, now 2.4ghz is gone.
nvram erase&&reboot or reflashing couldn't bring it back.

Hi, I’m new at this, in simple way, how can I flash my Ea9200 to rt3200 step by step in very easy language? I just want to use the LAN, I don’t need the WiFi, actually I will disconnect it. I just want it for VPN.
That can be done using my pc and Ethernet wire? With a software.. Or I have to open the router and connect it to a special cable?
Please can you help me?
Any useful link?
I appreciate it!

I was able to install firmware 1.1.5 through the serial port. Which version of Asus rt-3200 were people successful in installing? I tried the latest, did not work.
Thanks
