First of all let me tell you am not much expert of such equipment. I have Ea 6900 v1.1 i followed this guide https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=291230#291230 and successfully installed DD-WRT v3.0-r32868 (07/27/17) this firmware. Now Problem is am not able to write cfe as whenever i tried to unlock using [mtd unlock /dev/mtd0] it says cannot unlock and whenever i try to use this command [mtd write -f new-cfe.bin mtd0] it shows mtd options and do nothing.
Now am Stuck on this firmware cant downgrade/upgrade or restore to original linksys firmware.
Due to this reason i cannot get proper internet speed help needed.

Try after unlocking: mtd unlock /dev/mtd0 (never mind if it tells you it cannot unlock)
Code:
mtd -f write new-cfe.bin /dev/mtd0
Those commands have to be executed from the Command Line Interface (telnet/Putty) and not from the GUI
Moved this thread to the appropriate forum (see the forum guidelines)
Thanks for your help i was able to restore it to original firmware and then again tried whole method and now i have successfully flashed 2021 beta file. Now am only facing one issue wifi link speed for 5ghz is limited to 400 mpbs . How to increase this speed?
followed by a nvram reset and reconfiguration from scratch.
As for wifi speed, read https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=327595 and note that no matter what speed the router shows under optimal settings, the connected clients limitations apply and also affect the speed the clients can achieve.
No there is no specific reason as i cannot get ftp link for file latest file..
Keep in mind, you will likely have to use either curl or wget http (not https) if you use CLI. For example:
Code:
cd /tmp
wget http://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2022/05-23-2022-r48954/linksys-ea6900/linksys-ea6900-webflash.bin
write linksys-ea6900-webflash.bin linux
reboot
