Flashing Instructions

You'll need to download 2 files before you begin this procedure. For those upgrading from an older build, you need not to use the initial trailed mini .chk file (the .chk file with the router name in it is the trailed build for initial flashing only), but you must use nv64k to upgrade with or you'll end up with a bricked router.

And this one for a more feature filled build (Will give you USB function amongst other features)

Build information

As noted in bold in the flashing instructions, only use builds with nv64k in the name for upgrading, anything else will brick your router!
