As far as I know, d-link routers have an emergency recovery page. Hold the reset button in while powering on till the power light flashes, then open up your browser to the d-link default IP address. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Hi,
I put ddwrt in my new Archer c9. but the AC speed are lows.
How slow was it? I really want to put dd-wrt on my Archer C9 even if it runs a little slower. Which version of dd-wrt did you use, I can't find it listed at the dd-wrt site. If I can't get dd-wrt running it goes back to Amazon.

Do a 30/30/30 reset
go to the routers admin page
firmware update and load factory-to-dd-wrt
do a 30/30/30 reset and you are done
web flash is to update a exsisting ddwrt router to a newer update
Can someone add the TP Link Archer C9 to the hardware search page, listing the correct version and giving the above instructions? It's not currently listed.
I got two of these Archer C9's from Costco and loaded the 4/1/2015 DD-WRT beta on them both. One is the main router and the other is used as a wired access point. I haven't had a lot of time to test them, but signal coverage seems really good.
Issues:
1. I had to set my main router to get a static IP from the Ooma I have in front of it. On my Netgear router (with DD-WRT), I just let it auto dhcp, but that wouldn't work anymore on the new one, not sure why, but it worked once I set it statically.
2. The USB3 drive I have gets recognized by the router, and I can setup samba sharing, BUT NONE of my computers or devices can see the router or the shared drive as a share on the network. I've tried rebooting, unplugging, everything. Everything acts like there is nothing shared from my router.
3. I set the "SES button unmounts drives" to enable and the router will NOT keep a drive mounted, even when I press nothing at all. I'll plug one in, watch it mount, and a couple seconds later it unmounts and stays that way. Turning that setting off keeps the drive mounted, or so it says in the USB page.
I'm really enjoying the routers but if I can't get the USB to share to my network, then it's No-Go for me sadly. I'm not sure who is maintaining the Archer C9, if someone has that information, I'd love to communicate these issues with them and help them get worked out.
