Flash DD-WRT (Kong ) build to advanced Tomato

Hi

I have been using this router for sometime with no issues, the problem i've come across is that i'm having some issues with openvpn, I have spoken to some people who uses Tomato Builds and tell me that they have no problems using vpn with the same setup. for that I would like to flash from DD-WRT v3.0-r30600M kongac (09/09/16) to Tomato builds

all advice on what version and files that I will need will be apreciated

 

Regards

Rob

To go back from DD WRT to OFW

To go back from DD WRT to OFW just go to Netgear’s website download the latest firmware and just flash it regularly, wait 2 minutes after the flash and turn the router off then on. That should get you to OFW. Advanced Tomato is different cuz is a .trx file thats why u need a Back to OFW firmware.

Disconnect all the cables

Disconnect all the cables exept power and let it boot. If it doesn’t work press the reset bottom fomr 10 sec, that should do the trick.

Get all the clables out of the router, especially the wan cable. Plug just the power, let the router fully boot up and then connect all the other cables.
