R6250 upgrade path?
A few questions if you all don't mind:
 
1) In order to update to the latest version (I already have a version of DDWRT Kong Mod on my r6250), do I need to reflash fully back to the netgear factory, then apply the new CHK, then bin?  Or can I just apply the bin through the DDWRT UI?  If so, where should I get the bin file?
 
2) I see a couple of different sites for "kong".  Which if these is legit (and if none, can you point me to the correct server):
 
 
Thanks much!

Answered by trying it out because tired of waiting.

Since I have DD-WRT installed, I have no need for the CHK file.  Bin file for the latest version is located at http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/ according to previous MyOpenRouter Kong posts.

Using upgrade firmware option in DD-WRT allowed me to use the bin file from that url (I used the standard, not the 128K vram because in my settings it said I only have 64K).

Still not sure about the clonevince.fr address.

 

Hope this helps someone later on.

I was going to update mine

I was going to update mine soon, this will help

but on the netgear site is says "128 MB flash and 256 MB RAM"

http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R6250.aspx#...

my router says "Memory  262144 kB"

also on my router it says "NVRAM  38 KB / 64 KB"

very confusing
