DD-WRT Kong Mod for NETGEAR R7500v1 (2018-10-28 .BIN)

R7500v1 build: This build does not include support for the quantenna radio 5G and won't likely ever get support for it. You can flash from Netgear webif by uploading: R7500v1-factory-to-ddwrt.img Flashing back to Netgear fw through webif is not supported. To flash back to Netgear firmware, login via telnet or ssh, then run command: erase linux reboot the router will reboot and start tftpd server (flashing power light indicates tftpd ready). Now push oem firmware through tftp client: tftp 192.168.1.1 binary put R7500-V1.0.0.94.img
