Yay!
This is great news. I got my 6400 just a few months ago and have been running the (terrible) stock firmware on it this whole time because I was hesitant to use the only other DD-WRT build due to its age.
Are there any reports on how this build is yet?
M.
so can we get some details about this kong firmware :)
It is build 29875M that is discussed here:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=302441
I am running it now for a few days but again I have experienced low datarates at 10 mtr distance with two walls in between.
Even my old WRT54G does a better job. But that KONG is on it now is the most important part of the story.

Read the supported models file. There you will find that R6400 can also run with dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_STD_128K.bin
that has 128Kb NVRAM support. What does that bring? There could be chance of overwriting cfe (bootloader)? I stay away from it.
If I'm understading right:
Even though KONG has made available a new build for our R6400, it still has a Wi-Fi strength problem, but if we use the 128K (which appears just slightly more current - June 12 there vs June 11 here.) we have the fairly good chance of truely bricking the router?
I should've spent a few more bucks and bought a more supported router... :-\

quote from KONG himself in http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=302441&postdays=0&postorder...
Newer netgear units come with 128K nvram. The R6400 that I just ported has 128K nvram. I also know that the R7300 has 128K, but have no such unit at the moment.
The build with the .chk extension is the file for initial flashing from stock firmware. The .bin are for updating a router with dd-wrt already installed. Why would you think that installing the firmware for the R6400 is a bad idea? The firmware for the initial install also has 128b NVRAM support.
Thank you based kong
It appears Brainslayer has also released a build supporting the R6400. Anyone have a suggestion of which to go with? ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/06-17-2016-r29968/netgear-r6400/
I've been pulling my hair out with v3.0-r29875M kongac (06/11/16) for 2 days now on my NG AC1750 (NAS) R6400.
Can no longer mount any ntfs usb to NAS.
Cannot connect any Intel AC 7260 wifi to the 5ghz 802.11ac faster than 400mbs.
No longer have any antenna assignment control in any menu. I've got 3 antennas and would like to decide how I use them!
48 hours playing with equals a pre-beta which I will never get back. ugh.......
Don' t pull your hair out. Better report on dd-wrt forum at broadcom section. There is a thread for every release. KONG is reading there and answers. Best thing is the R6400 is the router he uses now at home.
Cheers
Any intended releases for Netgear R7300? Will not work with R 7000. Any thread about Kong and 7300

The stock Netgear firmware is killing me, and no one can really answer if the R7000 wrt firmware will work or not. I've read 1 post on another site that someone said it's supposed to work, but the DST will not, which I'm fine with.
Does anyone know if the R7000 firmware does actually work, or does not work for the R7300? I need better OpenVPN configuration
