It's not taking the .chk file on mine. I've tried to revert normally 5 times now and the update page resets instantly and I get a white page and no firmware change. So basically I'm F^cked because DD-WRT is not working at all on my unit. It comes up and I can look through the GUI, but that's all. I need to get back to Netgear's firmware.

I have been using DD-WRT on everything for years and got the 6300 and am having VoIP issues that I did not on my 3300 with DD-WRT. So I thought would try DD-WRT to see if there were the same problems. Well first, DD-WRT will not hold any settings no matter what I do. It took forever to connect to the Internet via DHCP. And now that I want to revert, I can't. Off to see what I can do to recover, even if it means destroying this thing and having it replaced under the two warranties I have on it.

This was a HUGE MISTAKE!!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I tired 5 different browsers from one machine and two from another and still no joy. I finally got the unit to revert to stock FW through many 30/30/30's and multiple upload attempts. It wasn't until the second upload attempt on the 4th trip30 that by the GoG, it took the stock firmware. So now I am back in Netgear work. It would have been nice to have tried this with DD-WRT to see if the VoIP issues were still present. That would have narrowed things down.

I'll wait until they come out with a more advanced and stable reelase before I try this again.
