At this point the router is bricked because I cannot access it to flash a working. Wifi still works with no internet.Īfter the flash I cannot ssh to the router via hardline and also ftp during bootup no longer works. Looks like all of the lan/wan hardline ports are disabled. My guess is there’s an issue with K3-AC-ARM_31870_/dd-wrt.K3_R8000.chk that was flashed. However, the router now cannot pull an IP from the cable modem even though I’ve selected DHCP in the Setup>WAN tab.

This should complete and reboot into DD-WRT. Verify/establish internet connectivity (see next post)Ħ.
#NETGEAR R8000 DD WRT FIRMWARE SETUP INSTALL#
Install OpenWRT via Netgear GUI (see attached file).ģ. I found an OpenWRT document that listed a different command and that was able to successfully work.ġ. I couldn't get the tftp boot recovery thing to work and the mtd write commands didn't work either. Once I had a DD-WRT image on the device I tried flashing it a few ways. I also found out wget doesn't support SSL, so I had to find another regular http source. The first issue is that most of the links point to which doesn't appear to be up anymore. Once I had internet access I downloaded the Kong image with wget. There are probably multiple ways to tackle that, but basically you need to be able to SSH into OpenWRT and allow it to have internet access. I did this by changing the lan interface settings so I could add a gateway and DNS settings to reach the internet without have to plug up the WAN interface directly to the modem. What I ended up doing was first getting my new router internet access. The other thread started talking about a long process to install LUCI, but that ultimately failed for them, as well for me. I was able to flash that OpenWRT image from the Netgear GUI.
I used the OpenWRT image that was attached in the thread. Most of my info came from another thread, but it only got my half-way there. Hopefully this helps someone in the future. Since I had to do a lot of research to get this to work I thought I would share my experience real quick. The files listed in the downloads did not work from the Netgear GUI. Man I had quite the time last night trying to flash my new Netgear R8000 router. Posted: Tue 13:37 Post subject: Netgear R8000 Successful Install
