Eh, the point is there are two different r9000 being troubleshot in this thread and it's confusing to determine when the conversation is drifting or talking about one router or the other.
Two others have asked you about the condition you obtained these routers; you ignore or avoid the question.
IMO it's not a software problem, unless somehow it can be proven otherwise (e.g. downgrade to older stock version, software or hardware reset magic). Maybe I'm wrong.
I try not to make assumptions about what is wrong until there is evidence.
I am only troubleshooting one router. I only mentioned the other one as an indication that I have seen the hardware not work on the stock version and is working fine on dd-wrt. I use that router as my main router attached to my cable modem and use the 5Ghz radio heavily for wifi calling with zero issues yet the hardware doesn't function at all with stock netgear firmware. I apologize for any confusion that may have caused.
Again, tell me how where they came from is relevant. I have a router that doesn't work and I'd like to try to figure out why and perhaps repair it. I appreciate immensely any help I can get to achieve this goal.
My IR thermometer arrived, the two wireless chips are not producing any heat whatsoever. Now the trick will be to discover why. I doubt that given the huge number of problems where both radios quit at the same time that the chips are bad. I will have to see what information is available for these chip pinouts and see what I can learn.

can you make a full flash dump and provide it to me? the point is alot of settings are made by the bootloader by a predefined device tree set. so if netgear changed this set or the hw revision was changed i'm maybe able to find the cause in this dataset by comparing it with mine. the indicator that the irq changes is one hint there that the hw is maybe somewhat different. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

Thanks BrainSlayer,
I have tried to access the uboot bootloader several times but when the prompt appears to press any key I can never seem to get in. I would be happy to do the dump but unfortunately I don't know how. There are three jumpers near the flash that I have tried messing with but I haven't had any luck so far. Can you please tell me how to do it?

I will have to figure out serial access on mine and would need some pointers, perhaps. I haven't cracked mine open yet, but at this point, what the hell... what's there to lose? _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Hello,
Here is the serial port connection. Baud rate is 115200.
Hi, my r9000 has also not working 2,4 and 5ghz. What can I do to help solve this problem? I've benn looking into the netgear forums, and read that there are loads of r9000 with the same problems. I tried all the firmware I could get hold of. But no way to make the radios work. the ad wifi works under stock Firmware.
Right now flashed dd-wrt with the images found on the main Page. I ordered a usb to TTL with 5v and 3,3v. What do i have to use 3,3 or 5?
Thx for the Help
