Use xwrt vortex firmware on

Use xwrt vortex firmware on R6400v1. I use it for a few months now and it is stable and packed with features. Read guide in this thread:

Use 7.5 version!!!

I use Kong's DDWRT on 6400v2. Works for me. No reboots, steady signal.

I presume, these r6400 7.5 are exactly the ones from above?

Yes it is the same firmware

Yes it is the same firmware on the new link.  I am using 7.9 for a month now and haven't got any issues. Updated from 7.5 without any trouble.

7.9 is as stable as 7.5 and even a little faster.

Cheers

Goodf to hear, I'm wondering

Goodf to hear, I'm wondering if I should move from dd-wrt. If you could compare, do I loose many features comparing to dd-wrt?

I came from dd-wrt and will never go back wink

Don't forget the to turn on the ASUS features! 

Navigate to Tools > Other Settings > ASUS Features > Enable BWDPI

Reboot for them to become active.
