Hi all,
I have just got my hands on a WRT1900 AC V2, with factory firmware 2.0.8.187766,
I have downloaded multiple versions of the DD-WRT firmware for this model, ( newest first then worked backwards )using the factory-to-ddwrt.bin option.
Firmware uploads and confirms : Firmware Update complete.
Router reboots, but goes back into stock firmware screen not DDWRT screen?.
So i read and did the power off and on 3 times, still boots to stock?

What does the actual label on the bottom of your router say as far as model? Which specific versions? Initial flash likely has to be a much older build from 2017/18. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I was having the same issue, and I saw it was because it can't flash a file over 32MB in size which most of the new firmwares are. I went through the archive and found an older one that was below 32MB and that worked, and once it is installed you can upgrade to a newer firmware that is over that file size. Here is where you can find an older build: https://dd-wrt.com/support/other-downloads/?path=betas%2F
