Any idea when a version will be out for these two nice offerings from Cisco/Linksys? I hate the dumbed down stock UI! I've been using ddwrt for over 12 years, and I hate not having it on this router! I'll even pledge some $ to this end. Can we donate to a specific HW beta project? If not, it would be a nice addition!
From what I've read, the hardware on the Asus RT-AC56U is the same as the EA6200 and that the firmware works as-is on it but I haven't tried it myself.
Cyberstorm, any chance you could point me to the exact firmware you loaded on the Linksys EA6200? Can it be flashed from the factory web UI or does it need to be flashed from the command line? Also, how did you get ssh access on the stock firmware? I read about the "packages" folder trick for older firmware on some of the older Linksys routers, but couldn't get it to work on the 6200.

3. To flash dd-wrt to EA6200 I used asus-rt-ac56u build 24461 (06/23/14)
For me this buid was working Perfect.
With newer builds i have problems with VPN and USB storage
Connect with ssh and ...
Next do as cyberstorm posted:
image_writer ddr_wrt_fw_to_flash.trx /dev/mtd2
nvram set bootpartition=0
nvram commit
reboot
P.S.
Important!!!
DO NOT reset NVRAM it will brick your EA6200 router!!!
