I flashed Merlin's latest build EA6400_380.65_X7.4.trx with the Koolshare CFE. Have not tried the Xvortex CFE both will work, just wanted to have the UUID and additional entires the Koolshare one has.
Router runs very good with this build much better than DD-WRT build. One very odd thing I noticed on my EA6300v1 is that 5GHz wpa2-personal aes encryption setting has a problem connecting, sometime with a message wrong password and other times it just times out. If I set it to "open system" no issues what so ever. What I tried is changing the last two digits of the Mac address in the CFE to anything other than 22 the last two digits of the 5GHz band and it works fine. The mac address ending in 22 is the one the router is suppose to be since 1E is the ethernet mac address counting 4 up from there gives you 22. This was also the default one before upgrading to Merln's Firmware. I am also seeing something weird after flashing the firmware I notice the CFE iis modified with multiple WL mac address's counting 10 more entries from 20 the 2.4GHz last digits of that mac address and 10 more listed after the original 5GHz 22 digits and 10 more from the new entry I made for the 5Ghz. The router functions fine but trying to figure out why this is happening. The Koolshare CFE is almost exactly the same as Xvortex except there are a few more entries to edit such as UUID, passphrase etc., and two additional mac address entries for ethernet mac address and one additional mac address entry for both 2.4/5 GHz. Xvortex has a total of 3 entries, two mac address entries for ethernet and only one for wl somewhat different than Koolshare's.
I will probably end up starting over from scratch, flashing the linksys stock then flashing a DD-wrt small hacky build that gives a few tools for the command prompt to flash anything from there.
Is there command to delete the bootloader (cfe) then write to it again before rebooting of course a bit dangerous move? I had to download mtd-write to write the CFE (boot) in Merlin's command prompt since mtd-write2 will only flash the OS to linux.
Thanks!
