You did nvram erase && reboot and not the older erase nvram command, correct?

Yes, I did the new one, nvram erase. And as expected after reboot it prompted for admin credentials to be set, and after that this newer build was much snappier than before, until it stopped working just like before.

Okay, I'd try r48332 but first please advance forgive me while I copy pasta something else from the build threads.

Clear history or use a portable. Temporary cache bypass: Ctrl+F5, Cmd+Shift+R or new private window/incognito.

Maybe helpful, maybe not, but always worth to try another browser, portable or at very least clear all your history.

No, that's not really helpful, as I've pointed out multiple times, this trouble isn't limited to web GUI access, so it couldn't be a web browser caching issue. I can have a working telnet session going, and that keeps working until 15-20 seconds after I start a web GUI session, at which time the telnet session closes and the web GUI stops responding, and neither will work again until the router is rebooted.

I've now put it back to the latest Netgear build and will see about returning it. At least I didn't need a special cable to un-brick it and learned more than I had hoped about other ways to flash a build...

Don't knock it until you've tried, whether r48322 (first recommendation) or an alternate browser with no history.

Negative, I've been fooled once, then twice, with this router and DD-WRT, it won't make a fool of me the third time.

I still suspect a browser issue. There's got to be an add-on or configuration anomaly that is causing this. If you're saving passwords by default, that is a problem. The *only* other thing is if it is a used device and has a bad power brick or the router itself is starting to crap itself.

I had the same problem. I was using Edge browser. After days of troubleshooting, going to back to Safari helped.

best Browser so far, FFx portable and Pale moon...i use the second...it never failed.. Embarassed

but, i avoid WEB flash if possible...I always use CLI to update, unless its not needed via GUI on small flash size devices...

On my R7000 i had some firmware update/stability issues..and went back to Netgear for a test and than went back to DDWRT with nvram erase and manually rebuild...my settings... it helped... Laughing

and you use .chk only to do the first update from Netgear...than you use the .bin from DDWRT side, so no need to use .chk for any further updates...

if this will make any difference here is the old .chk from Kong, witch i uploaded from my R7000 Netgear interface and it worked...and since than i update only the .bin files...
and you can do nvram erase and manual rebuild...

Mod edit: sorry, 3rd party firmwares moderators are instructed to remove them by direct instructions from one of the site admins.
