#Dd wrt nighthawk r8500 serial
Wondering if it was a complete crash or something semi graceful I opened it up and connected to the serial port. what I found is that connecting to the 2.4G WL1 radio is fine, but when I connect to either of the 5G "WL0,2" it instantlay reboots. so I tried each radio one at a time to see if it was isolated to just one. I just flashed the latest March build and what I have noticed is that it reboots when connecting to wifi. Maybe onto something as for the r8500's with reboot isues. Any word when or if the Kong builds will fix the issues where the port assignments are not visible in the GUI? For example, Port 5/6 not visible.Īlso, any progress on Link Aggregation 802.3ad LACP for the Kong builds? This feature seems to be in the code, but not entirely working in the GUI. I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice. Even with serial logs and kong's help, I wasn't able to fix any. I've bought about 5 or 6 in similar condition. Has anyone had any success fixing these defective units? I don't have a bootlog, but if I remember correctly it almost looks like the PCI-E switch is not being detected or not detecting the 5GHz radios. Thanks to an old post here, I have the 2.4GHz radio working under firmware V1.0.0.42_1.0.23, but have been unable to get the 5GHz radios to work. This R8500 v1 is by far the hottest router I've ever owned and fear it is damaged beyond repair. I've been successful in recycling improperly flashed routers in the past, so took a chance and bought one for under $50. For grins I've attached the boots for netgear and K3 as well as nvram show results.Ī good number of these units are being sold on eBay "as is". K3 is reported to work on variant -03 but alas i have -02.
I've also tried the latest BS and K3 DD wwrt versions - the former appears to lock the system up while the latter just loops. All go thru an extended boot loop cycle that does eventually stop. Probably beating a dead horse but I'll give it one last try. Posted: Mon 3:23 Post subject: R8500 boot loop MP3-02 Guys but do you know if anyone is still following the problems that the R8500 has? not much talk. Hi guys, im thinking of getting R8500 and was wondering if MP2 models work with DDWRT now ? Officially the only working versions for mine are: Thank you so much Kong, hope future updates also work for mine. My R8500 is finally working with the latest firmware by
#Dd wrt nighthawk r8500 install
Proceed with download and install of opkg? (y/n) : IPKG is not supported anymore and opkg is available on my builds after you ran the preperation script "bootstrap" sh: opkg: not there some docs of ddwrt-v3.0 ipkg or opkg description? I can't find in wiki.
But why I can't use ipkg or opkg in shell ipkg
