Initial DD-WRT Installation
NOTE: Read the entirety of this page before installation, especially the Build Info section. Builds marked as
"recommended" may be outdated, and newer builds can be used once their "New Build" thread is reviewed.
See Where do I download firmware? for links.
To go from stock Netgear firmware on the R6300 to DD-WRT:
1. Download trailed initial flash (.chk) R6300 firmware.
1.
◊ tested 2021 build 47911 can be directly flashed from last OEM (V1.0.2.80_1.0.59).

1. Turn on router, wait for Power light to go solid green.
2. Press & hold Reset button for 20sec, or until Power light starts flashing.

wait for PC to be configured by router DHCP (which can take up to a full minute).

7. At Configuring the Internet Connection select No, I want to configure the Internet connection myself.
