Please as I have no success to connect dd-wrt with my isp, I want to revert back to stock firmware but http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K4-AC-ALPINE/NetgearFW/ddwrt-to-netgear-R9000.bin is unavailable. Could someone repost it. Thanks

You don't need that file.

Go and get whichever Netgear firmware date/version you want on the R9000, put the R9000 into TFTP mode, and then TFTP the Netgear firmware back onto the R9000. It's not that hard to do. Maybe adds 2 minutes of total time.

To get the R9000 in TFTP mode:
1-Turn off router
2-Hold down the reset button
3-Power on the router and continue holding the reset button
4-The power LED will switch from slow flashes to rapid flashes; when that happens, the R9000 is in TFTP mode.
5-"put" the new IMG file onto the R9000.
6-Wait till TFTP64 says you're done and wait another few minutes. The router should reboot by itself. if it doesn't...make sure you've waited about 6-8 minutes before power cycling the router.

That's it.

The only computer with a lan port is a nas with linux, I already tried but without success, tftp client doesn't connect to the router ip 192.168.1.1.

You must be doing something wrong. I added a step by step how to put the router into TFTP; scroll back up. Make sure you static set IP of the linux box. If you follow all the directions it should work just fine.
