Installation
Supported in DD-WRT since build: 29968
KONG builds may also be used. (K3-AC-ARM folder)
Use the .chk file first and the webupgrade file to upgrade to a newer version of dd-wrt.
See Where do I download firmware? for links to both Kong and regular brainslayer builds. (located in the Netgear R6400 folder for brainslayer builds).
DO NOT 30-30-30 Reset ARM Devices
...in addition to the reset button as described above...
From the GUI:
If you need to reset (clear historical NVRAM settings) select factory reset option from drop down on firmware upload web gui page. or use the reset to default settings WEBIF.
Administration > Factory Defaults (select radio button, then apply settings)
or
Administration > Firmware Upgrade (after browsing to your firmware file, select "reset to defaults" from dropdown, then click upgrade button)
From the Command Line Interpreter (CLI):
Telnet over to the device and pass the following command (without quotes): "nvram erase && reboot"
Reset notes: We all know to reset after initial flash. In early Feb. 2015 Kong announced a reset is required for certain upgrades as well, summary HERE. While not always necessary, resetting and re-configuring manually is also a best practice for upgrades. In Q1 2015 it was noted that users that reset from the CLI and MANUALLY RECONFIGURED after upgrading avoided issues (do NOT restore a NVRAMBAK from previous build it basically will undo your CLI reset).
