On all standard assemblies miniDLNA does not work - it crash and stop on caching some video files, there is no such error on assemblies of Kong. What could be the reason?

Long Time user of the R7800 Kong build and long time lurker ... my first actual post. So today I went to finally upgrade my R7800 firmware. I'm currently using the r34900M kong build from 02/14/18. Kong left for good - Check and understood. The original website of http://www.desipro.de/dd-wrt/K3-AC-IPQ806X/ doesn't have the builds anymore. Check and understood.

I have 2 questions that I couldn't answer after poking around and reading what I could.

1) Are the latest stable builds available anywhere?
2) What about the files so that I can revert back to a stock image? (in case I wanted to go with a Kong OpenWRT build).

Sad day. Been using his stuff for so long. But now I need to figure out if my router is stuck in its current state forever of if I have options.

I had a small cache of more recent builds across the board from his desipro.de side, but that got destroyed. Someone may have the last build (40270?) file handy... I could've almost sworn someone posted it as an attachment in a thread on the forum, but not sure who or where.

I've actually recently purchased a r7800 and have been trawling through all of the forums I can for files and posts. Here's the 40270M Kong build, flashable from stock/Voxel firmware.

Understood. But, what if I want to go back to the netgear OEM image and start from scratch? The above will just get me to OpenWRT. How can I get back to a stock Netgear image?

Thanks for you help!

But most of us here will already have the Kong build installed. The one you posted - isn't that just for flashing from OEM to kong DD-WRT?

Yes, this is true, and it is also true that Kong had a DD-Stock file that could be flashed in DD-wrt's interface to take you back to stock. It is believed, that file was lost when Kong took down his repository. The solution to get back to stock currently, would be to tftp a stock netgear firmware directly to your router.

Thank you very much. It looks like I have some research/learning to do. But, just to clarify ... I went to Netgear's website and downloaded the correct firmware. So, I have the latest img file (AC2600-V1.2.0.62_1.0.1.img). You're saying that I can somehow use tftp to get this image to my router? I haven't tftp'd to my router before so I'll have to figure that out. Looks like they have directions on it ...

Precisely. The tftp procedure is technically a recovery mode, sort of like a bootloader. You go through the sequence to put your router into tftp receiving mode, and push the file from your computer, using a tftp client, to the router. The router then detects the firmware, and flashes it. Smile

Hope all goes smoothly during your process.

Pretty sure you can just put router in recovery mode and tftp stock firmware.

Here is <Kong> back to stock file if needed.

I was kinda thinking you would've shared this, since I couldn't remember who shared the latest Kong build Razz Cool :
