If you have trouble connecting with SSH then download the latest Putty and make sure under SSH/Host keys to move ed25519 to the top and probably untick "Prefer Algorithms for which a host key is known" or forget the HOST keys
If you have trouble connecting with WinSCP under Tools/Clean up Clear Cache

For those, like me, who don't get a whole lot out of the timeline of fixes applied recently, and who are always afraid to make a mess of ssh & key base access, here is how I succeeded after being told by my R7800 that port 22 is closed.
If you know all the ins and outs of ssh, keys and the various commands used, just skip ...
I did check from the documentation what ssh-keygen -R actually does, since generating new keys is not what you might want to do ... I have a slew of SBC's etc. using key based ssh access hither and thither and time-wise can't afford messing it up.
In my case the command needs to be repeated for both LAN IP and hostname (this is on a Linux Mint laptop):
arjen@HP430G5:~$ ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.1
# Host 192.168.1.1 found: line 146
/home/arjen/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/arjen/.ssh/known_hosts.old
arjen@HP430G5:~$ ssh root@r7800.mdnet
Connection closed by 192.168.1.1 port 22
arjen@HP430G5:~$ ssh-keygen -R r7800.mdnet
# Host r7800.mdnet found: line 145
/home/arjen/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/arjen/.ssh/known_hosts.old
arjen@HP430G5:~$ ssh root@r7800.mdnet
The authenticity of host 'r7800.mdnet (192.168.1.1)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'r7800.mdnet,192.168.1.1' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
DD-WRT v3.0-r50906 std (c) 2022 NewMedia-NET GmbH
Release: 11/18/22
Board: Netgear R7800
==========================================================
Issues/Errors: IPv4 SSH seems broken. IPv6 working. I'm still investigating.
It does seem like IPv6 SSH changed with this release. The logs show my connection and then dd-wrt closes the connection. Using the same settings in PuTTY but changing the IP to v6 works.
Odd. Did SSH get changed in the firmware? _________________ Netgear R9000

You could probably just have deleted your known hosts.
Not sure how that would happen. I was not doing anything in that folder, and I used SSH to load and write the new firmware. I could not reconnect once the new firmware came up _________________ Netgear R9000

That worked. Thank you! Why in the world did it just start after I did a router update??
