Hi, as an update to this topic. I have now just used the webinterface to upload the file provided by Koolshare and now Im back to the Stock Firmware without any big troubles.
Now, going t o DD-WRT on this unit...but first I need to change the Board_ID still since I just realized on the Label of the Router that this one is actually a R7900...
Next up check in the forum which is the best DD-WRT Version for the R8000.

Thanks for the update. I wondered if that may have been part of the caveats. Not sure if you can burnboardid in Koolshare; you may have to edit the CFE parameters and write a properly modified CFE to return it to a bonafide R8000. The problem is, if it has the Asus CFE, you have to make sure all applicable parameters are correct, or you may run into issues. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Apparently the CFE seems was not modified.
I have already upgraded to DD-WRT version 05-11-2021 I found here confirmed working.
I had to go to OpenwWRT first to be able to activate SSH to use Board-ID then.
It accepted my command but strangely after reboot it showed a different Board-ID then the one I have entered.
Nevertheless DD-WRT is running now and shows R8000 in the Status.
Now I need to test the wifi or maybe switch to the experimental driver and also setup the VLANs and VPN.
