Flashed this onto my Asus RT-AC3100, and after 20min of uptime, the web interface no longer works.
I assume the httpd process died, but I can't get into ssh either to check. I'll report back.
Total uptime is about 35 min.
**EDIT
So far I'm not able to get the web interface back using the below command from SSH
service httpd restart
any ideas other than rebooting? If not, I'll have to do it later. _________________ ASUS RT-AC3100 AP Merlin 386.12_4

service httpd restart
any ideas other than rebooting?
Code:
httpd -n -p 80
"-p 80" is probably for port 80, and not sure what "-n" is for, but this worked for me when httpd died and didn't restart automatically. I got it from inspecting a properly running dd-wrt with "ps aux | grep httpd"

Try the command "startservice httpd" This has always worked for me.
well I tried to access it again, and it came up. It must have restarted on it's own... anyhow, back to testing...

I am kinda behind on this, using quite old build (DD-WRT v3.0-r39960M kongac (06/08/19)) on my Netgear R6400 v2 and was thinking about upgrading it.
Of course I know you guys cannot guarantee or anything but are there any precautions around flashing this update that I specifically should do?
I am also quite aware about routers wiki page as well as installation specifically upgrade section, but beside that are there some known risks? Of course I mean to reset it to factory, upgrade, reset to factory again.
BTW, is Netgear R6400v2 using Atheros or Broadcom chip?
Your tone is all wrong. We know what the OP of the build thread says. But build threads diverge into crap all the time. And, you could've answered your own question by searching "Netgear R6400 v2 wikidevi":
@ GoMati: You might as well update to today's release (52720); keep in mind, a reset and reconfigure from scratch may be required.

That's extremely welcome and kind of you, thank you, good sir!
And to give something back to the forum and all its users (especially those looking for answers on this router) here's my report:
Router/Version: R6400v2 (U12H332T30_NETGEAR) File/Kernel: netgear-r6400v2otp-webflash.bin Previous/Reset: Reset before and after flashing (coming from DD-WRT v3.0-r52459 (05/08/23)) Mode/Status: just standard lan + wifi 2/5, WOL on single host, ARP startup command + DMZ on one host Issues/Errors: none!
Some additional info: I took semi-leap of faith and started upgrading my old kong's build with r52459 thanks to some kind's soul post telling me that works nicely. I've factory reset before and after flash.
Then same procedure to install current (r52703) firmware using web GUI, also ofc file for my board (netgear-r6400v2otp-webflash.bin). The only thing is that I defenitely do recommend some patience as router restarted a couple of times. As for now every feature that I usually use is working fine, so good work on this one to @blkt!
