I have a ea6350 v2 so far it's been pretty stable. Every time I reboot the 2.4ghz wireless looses it's security settings .. I just re-apply and save after reboot. not a big deal. overall it's pretty stable. really good 5ghz speed.
I have the exact same problem. Is anyone working on a solution or is there any known workaround for this 2.4ghz wireless config issue?
I even tried to create a script to re-apply settings at boot time but I was unable to identify which commands are run when we click on "apply settings". Everything I tried failed.
I just stopped rebooting my router.. I used to have it reboot once a week but honestly I only reboot it now with a FW upgrade. I just remember to re-apply the 2.4 ghz security every time. _________________ WRT54GL v1.1 - Flashed

Hi, new to this but I've managed to successfully install the KONG build technoside2 listed above on my EA6350 v1 and its been fairly stable the past couple of days.
One problem I'm having is I've setup a NAS using an external HDD, but it's running fairly slow. Upload speeds consistently stuck at 10MB/s while Download speeds are typically as low as 3 MB/s.
Is this a build issue, a USB issue or has something gone wrong with my install?

I've switched over to (BS) BrainSlayer Builds b/c KONG has left DD-WRT for development. I just upgraded to the 1/9/20 build of BS. So far it's been pretty stable. I do not use the USB nas portion of dd-wrt so I'm not sure of issues. Good luck guys !! and happy flashing. _________________ WRT54GL v1.1 - Flashed

To anyone with the ea6350v2, it seems like if you update to the latest official firmware and then flash latest ddwrt it works.
It does not reboot to the second partition with the stock firmware.
If you do want to go back to the stock firmware, do a 30/30/30 reset.
IMPORTANT
if you do decide to flash ddwrt, do know that the reset button only resets the stock partition's data not ddwrt's, hence the reset does not work for DDWRT.
I learned the lesson the hard way as I am locked out of the web interface with no other way to access the router.
HOWEVER
if you're not like me and don't lose the password to the web interface, it seems like ddwrt is working great
I have a v2, but I can't get the linksys firmware to flash the webflash file. It just gives an invalid firmware error. I'm new to flashing routers. Am I missing something?
Following guillaumedsde's advice I have successfully flashed the latest DD-WRT build (01-19-2018-r34578) after updating to the latest LinkSys EA6530 V2's build (2.1.2.184309).
I used the LinkSys UI to perform both updates and each was successful at first attempt. My router was bought specifically for the purpose of setting up a VPN endpoint on my network and these updates were the first things I did out of the box.
I have been running what appears to be a stable environment for a little over a day now. I haven't used the reset button on the box, but rather if I need to I switch it off and then back on again (only had to do this to move it from one power outlet to another).
Still got a bit to do to get the router doing what I need for my network, but all looks good from a DD-WRT point of view...
Hi this sounds great can anyone tell me exactly what you mean by "latest DD-WRT build (01-19-2018-r34578)" above? Is that a file or a family of files and if it is a family, which one do I want? The one for the 6350v1? Thanks.

Looks like you've pulled something completely out of the middle or towards the end of this thread without looking into your specific device. Please re-read this thread in it's entirety to figure out how to install DD-WRT on the EA6350.
Doing some digging, it looks like it wasn't officially supported until 28139
I have red all pages and I am still confused Is there any regular less painful way to flash EA6350 V2 to dd-wrt without calling witches? Appreciate if somebody can advise and throw the link to stable build.

You should do some research in the build threads and read this thread in it's entirety before making any hasty decisions, perhaps.
You know, I did exactly the same as it was described. Updated to the latest LinkSys EA6530 V2's build (2.1.2.184309) manually. Downloaded the latest dd-wrt build (actually a few of them) and tried to upload into my router but it did not accepted that. See attached screenshot.
So, apparently people competency is not the case. It just looks like a matter of luck which is not mentioned anywhere in this thread.

Guys,
Take a looks at page 22 of this thread. I had the exact same issue you guys are facing. The person who posted about updating to the latest linksys firmware and then straight to DD-wrt, I believe is a V1 hardware. The flash would work for a little while but then after a reboot it would revert back. For the V2 hardware of the EA6350 that I am currently using, you must hook up a serial cable to the pinout on the motherboard. Page 22 of this thread breaks down my experience with flashing dd-wrt on my EA6350. Overall, I'm very happy that I did flash dd-wrt. It's been way better that the stock FW. Also due warning, there's no reverting back to stock after you're on DD-wrt. At least no method that I have found.
Good luck !
I'm here if you have questions or need an old KONG fw file. _________________ WRT54GL v1.1 - Flashed

It Looks like the wikidevi site was taken down. But I looked through the archives and found the EA6350 pinout. see attached. I hope this helps. Good luck !!
Please re-read this thread in it's entirety to figure out how to install DD-WRT on the EA6350.
...or someone that knows how, can write a Install Guide and/or wiki.
Because reading 26 pages (and growing), half of it not pertaining to you, is a good day spent.
It's like the old Linux saying:
Linux is the best OS!!!! as long as you can spend 6 months reading forums, just to figure out how to turn up the volume.

EDITED: Yes, I agree that this thread is cumbersome. I will see what I can do to compile the information in the thread to pass on to the other moderator(s) who have wiki access to populate this page: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_EA6350.
ADD: I have posted in the moderator forum to see about locking this thread temporarily to clean it up and get the information sorted out.
Is there any regular less painful way to flash EA6350 V2 to dd-wrt without calling witches? Appreciate if somebody can advise and throw the link to stable build.
