Hi,
I'm trying to install numerous custom firmwares, but the router just gets stuck in boot-loop. I've tried with both TFTP and uploading via WebGUI.
The only firmwares that for some reason WORK for me are:
I've noticed that some settings are persisted between flashes - how is this possible. Eg when going from Original to LEDE (configured it from scratch, but for some reason WAN for Static IP did not work) and then back to Original, all the passwords and WIFI settings from Original FW were retained . Could this be causing issues when flashing to Open-WRT Firmwares?
I know that they have increased some partitions. Is there anything that needs to be done for this to flash properly - I've read that only FTPT over Original FW should work (do I need to have it in Factory Settings).
There must be something that is causing issues with DD-WRT and OpenWRT, but on other side works fine with Voxel and LEDE - any suggestions?
I want to try Open-WRT as I cannot get Minidlna working on Voxel, and my WAN on LEDE.
Thanks!
