Thanks for your reply Twingo.
I will stay on 24461 for the moment, test if it is stable enough for me.
Will maybe consider Kong's build if I have time in a few months.
Edit:
If anyone failed like me, I actually managed to flash Kong's latest build using Flashing command line with Telnet directly from the latest ddwrt 24461 rev.
Can someone point me to the step by step process to revive the ea6700 via the com / JTAG port inside? I kinda flashed it a few months back and broke it and never bother by it till now.. I have time on my hands.
If there is also a link to the firmware I would need to load that would be great. BTW, I already tried 30 - 30 - 30 multiple times and I flashed it twice as it was reverting to the original firmware before I broke it.
I've done some searching and read through this thread and I do not see any mention of the Linksys EA6350. Does anyone know if that one is being checked into? If not, what can I do to help?
Thanks.
[Edit] Disregard. This model was returned to the store and I purchased an RT-N66U instead.

0) download:
a) the latest stock firmware
b) initial dd-wrt for your router (from dec 2013 or jan 2014 - search this thread or ea6900 for which one is possible)
c) flashing html webpage (find in my post www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=914408&highlight=#914408 )
d) download latest kong arm dd-wrt version
1) set your pc to ip:192.168.1.5
2) open console window and do "ping -t 192.168.1.1"
4) prepare to tftp upload stock linksys firmware
5) restart router
6) when pings get answer from 192.168.1.1 immediatly upload by tftp
After uploading you should have a nonresponsive stock firmware. Do you?
Make some coffee/tea.
Next step is to load dd-wrt.
Don't reset router.
7) open the html flashing webpage in browser.
8) choose for flashing dd-wrt initial flashing firmware
9) wait for flash + reboot
Router should come back with dd-wrt password change screen.
Change user + password.
Take a break, let the router run a bit.
Don't set anything except disable ttraf.
Flash through ui - kong firmware (don't use setting default values! - just flashing).
After reboot, you should have a working router.
Remember 32k nvram limit, etc.
I hope that this procedure is good even if I don't get an IP from the router. my case I think is that the firmware is corrupt and not accessible via webpage.
I'm using Kong 24345M with old style drivers. WiFi signal is good. But when I switch to any of new releases with new style drivers wifi signal gets worse, esp. 5G, drop in throughput, poor connection. I played with some settings like ccode, regrev, etc. No help. Can anyone explain what's wrong about it?
I'm not sure if anybody is still reading this but I will post anyways
I recently bought an EA6700 based on the fact that it was mentioned as supported in the WIKI devices list only to find that it wasn't really supported and had to use the stock firmware for a while which was very disappointing and killing me slowly .
so returning to research and finally managed to install DD-WRT which I have used for a few years.
the router is now running Build 26081 and seems to be working fine. no reboots and wireless is working good except that the 5GHz wireless sometimes disappears. not sure if its me or the router though.
My question is, is the NVRAM issue fixed with this build, i can't seem to find a change log or something in that regards. I know that some other router with 60KB NVRAM is working well (E3000) which I also have and working wonderfully.

Through telnet you can restore nvram vars if you want to return to stock.
finally I did it, thank you so much for your help. I need to just flash ui-kong firmware, can you send me link which one should I flash STD?
But there is a problem with dd-wrt on the EA series remembering nvram values.
I don't know the root issue, but have my suspicions:
Do you have jffs enabled?
Do you have traffic logging enabled?
The MAC on my EA6700 is also 00:90:4C:0F:F0:01. I am running DD-WRT build 26138 and have not been able to restore stock using TFTP. Does this mean my nvram is corrupted and if so, can you point me to a procedure to restore stock?
I did do the followng while nvram was good in case it helps:
1) telnet 192.168.1.1
2) execute: nvram show
3) copy the result to text file on my PC
