Hi

I just bought a used r6300 v1 thinking it would make a useful VPN router, but can see that the recommended firmware http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt-ren/K3-AC/25015-SP1/dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC.bin is no longer available and mirrors dont have it either from my search.

Is there somewhere I can get this, or is there another build that would work as well and stable for a vpn router solution? Dont need accelerated ethernet.

Are the latest brainslayer ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2020/01-18-2020-r42015/ builds going to be best?

thanks

I presume Kong quit supporting the V1, as the only initial flash file I know of is for V2, on the CloneVince archive repo for Broadcom ARM Kong builds. Also, to note, the V1 is a MIPS device, V2 is an ARM. To answer your question, though, yes, pretty much having to use the normal public builds from BrainSlayer. Outside of that, the only other option is to use FreshTomato - https://exotic.se/freshtomato-mips/v2019/2019.4/K26RT-AC/, depending on what you prefer.

Try 41664 for now, as newer builds have reports of slow wireless. Only use WPA2-AES, don't use auto channel, and don't use Mixed nor *-Only for Wireless Network Mode.

Reset and manually setup after flashing. Smile

Seems to be better by now, tried the last known working for similar MIPS based models.

measured with iperf3, AC9650 on the other end, same room.

DD-WRT v3.0-r41664 giga (c) 2019 NewMedia-NET GmbH
Release: 12/06/19
Board: Netgear R6300

the latter seems to run fine, currently doing WireGuard test, 99% CPU and quite the ping spread but stable for a while.
