why would you want to lose the capability that the t-mobile router has by putting dd-wrt on it?
Maybe some people just want a $200 router that runs DD-WRT for 25$?
Maybe someone here will identify the settings TMobile places in this router so we can put them in the DD-WRT interface for T-Mobile customers to have the best of both worlds (Tuned VOIP settings and DD-WRT)

From what I understand, the router will have the capability for your cell phone to connect to it via cell phone digital frequencies and you won't use up any of your phone minutes.
It is simply VOIP calling. the T-Mobile phone firmware includes a VOIP client that connects to T-Mobiles (Level-3 actually) VOIp gateways. Sprint also has this and has for many years. T-Mobile phones will do it on any wi-fi connection. You do however have to set the address on your account for each phone as the big issues with VOIP is 911 (emergency services)
Please feel free to PM me if you with to talk further about how the TMobile and Sprint Cell VoIP works. AS I am intimately familiar with both ; ) _________________ EA-6900

I have attached the CFE from the T-Mobile branded ac68u. I would like a copy of a normal one for a stare and compare if anyone has one. I am still pulling it apart to see what is specific to this model if anything.

Do you know how to go back to the stock firmware?
I don't condone hijacking a thread with a question that should be in a separate thread, especially when it has been answered in another thread. That being said, I suggest reviewing the smallnetbuilder thread based on this search:
I'm sorry if you thought I was hijacking the thread. Since CDMarshall spent time experimenting with this router, I thought there might be an answer to this. As many will be borrowing this router instead of buying it, being able to flash stock fw after ddwrt is very relevant.

If you look carefully in the smallnetworkbuilder thread, you can find the link to the firmware in the thread.
His question was not a hijacking of this thread, as the reverse (going back to stock) is definitely a relevant question. Anyone going to DD-WRT might like to know they can get their hands on the stock firmware to go back. This is even more true considering this is a rented router for many.
On my plain rt-ac68u, I just change the .trx of the asus fw to .bin and flash it through the dd-wrt upgrade page. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

I compared your cfe with one from ac68u v1.0.2.0 (US). The differences I found are:
