I bought a XR300 on clearance, saw it had the same FCCID as a 6400v2 and 6700v3, and decided to try the 6700v3 DD-WRT firmware on it. It flashed no problem. I did factory-to-dd-wrt.chk (v3.0-r47479 (09/23/21)) from the stock DumaOS webUI (didn't do any kind of settings wipe/reset).
After about 2 hours, it seems like the basics work fine (IPv4, IPv6, 2.4 and 5GHz wifi, 1Gbps Ethernet). I heavily tested the 5GHz wifi with wireless PCVR (Oculus Air Link and a Quest 2) and had no problems, and it was even a little better than the stock DumaOS firmware (2ms lower latency and less spikes).

To get proper support we need things like boardid etc.
See the R6400v2/R6700v3 guide, link in my signature.
I will update the guide that it probably can also be used for XR300

Yes, a complete serial dump would be ideal; and my vote is for proper detection and identification, but that's just me. You could possibly check the Freshtomato ARM code repo for the information, since it's already ported over there...
Not sure if it's in the master branch or the arm-sdk7 branch; I just happened to notice it when I caught this post and didn't investigate fully. Off to snag a bite on the way to a walk-through for a gig. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Was any progress made? I have a few 'T78 that are unused. The one flashed to the latest R6700v3 via NMRPFlash has some issues. Is it an incompatibility, and is there something that would assist? Please advise.
Developer still needs full serial dump / cfe dump with the information already noted to port this device properly. "It doesn't just happen"... _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

Well, to be frank, Broadcom is of little interest to the lead developer to add device support because of the situation with proprietary drivers, and I never got an email reply from the lead developer when I inquired almost 2 full years ago (my email was sent 09/23/2021, 19:22). Not sure if I want to bother poking the bear and bring it back up. I could always acquire a device since I already have the serial adapter(s) handy, and possibly translate the required information into patches and submit them, but that requires time I may not necessarily have to devote to the cause and all I need is another Broadcom device in the bin taking up space. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

TIA
Did you do a full reset after upgrading?
Lack of doing that is the usual cause for problems.
From the commandline (telnet/Putty):
Quote:
nvram erase && reboot
Put settings in manually never restore from a backup to a different build
