We have no control over users flashing and reporting in the build threads like they should to help serve the community at large. This could turn into a trial-and-error situation quite easily.
The Maximum image size for this device is ~7654605 bytes; I am looking back through builds from this year with key patches and so far, it looks as if 45955, 46130, and 46220 big K2.6 image will flash; no recent K3.x images are small enough to flash that I am aware of due to lack of reporting. I would have to contact BrainSlayer to see about any resolution to upgrade to anything newer. With all of the changes and Netgear's hard-coded constraints on this device, you'd be lucky to be able to flash 470000 mini K2.6. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I manage to flash dd-wrt.v24-47000_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega, but unfortunately no traffic could pass and I had to revert to the previously running dd-wrt.v24-33555_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega.
Ok, was this flash with or without a reset? It would've been great to have syslog, dmesg or serial console log to see what wasn't working.
The flash was via the web UI, without reset. I had ping to the WAN interface from my PC, but not further to the ISP's device. From the router I could ping the next hop though.
As here is a work day and I had to bring up the home office for remote work, I decided to revert to previous setup.
Hopefully I'll have more time over the weekend to play with the new version and will collect at least the syslog.
btw, is there a way to do this from the web-interface or I'll need ssh?
My main concern was the Netgear's firmware new vulnerability, but it turned out that this is not the case even with the older versions of DD-WRT firmware.

There was an issue with Netgears specifically that *should* be fixed in 47000. 46885 is what is on my K3X E4200 at the moment. I suggest re-flashing and doing a hard reset and re-reconfiguring from scratch. If the issue still persists, provide output of 'cat /var/log/messages' 'dmesg' and serial console. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Seems like dd-wrt.v24-47033_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega.bin did the job
Everything is working fine without reset.
The only issue is the old case with the HW detection, as Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS.
Anyway, great job. Thanks for the input!
If anyone is asking, Netgear WNR3500L v1 is working fine with the version above.
