DD -WRT Kong Mod on R7000-100PES

Hello,

I live in France and I'll soon buy a router to put DD WRT on it. However I have 3 questions :

-> I want to buy the R7000-100PES (the only model available in France), is the -100PES okay with Kong and 5ghz ? (LINK HERE TO AMAZON PAGE)

-> Is there a simple guide (updated one) to install the router, because the only tutorials I can find are from 2014 and the router might have changed since.

-> Is there a risk to brick it definitively or i there always a way to unbrick it (link TFTP) when installing king.

Thanks for taking the time to answer me :)

I think I just sent you a

I think I just sent you a message. I will repost here in case someone else has input.

I was attempting to load the dd-wrt firmware on my R7000 router lastnight.

I looked at the tutorial located at http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/netgear-r7000-dd-wrt/

It indicates that you first load an initial firmware .chk file, then you load a Kong mod.

Since that was from 2014, it may be an old method. Maybe now you just do the Kong file, such as dd-wrt.K3_R7000.chk which came out quite recently.

Let me know if you know otherwise.

HTH,

Roger

That is the link which I provided above, which is from 2014 and has steps which we are trying to determine if deprecated.

Where did you find dd-wrt.v24

Where did you find dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_STD.bin ?

Does it have that modified date because you downloaded it on 2017-01-18? I am betting so.

When I look at this site: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/    all the .bin files seem to have router models in the file name. I don't see any such files for an R7000 router, just the .chk file.

Just receievd a mail from

Just receievd a mail from kong himself :

 

"Hello, in France the model R7000-100PES is sold. Is it compatible with your dd-wrt ?"

He answered "Yes it is compatible. Cheers, Kong"

 

So the R7000-100PES is compatible with Kong DD-WRT :)
