I looked everywhere in the web UI, couldn’t find a place to switch the radio on. However wl0 doesn’t show correct band (5GHz/802.11AC), which seems to indicate the wireless chip was not recognized properly?Īnd from other people’s screenshot below I can see they have extra settings between “Wireless SSID Broadcast” and “Explicit Beamforming” like “NitroQAM (QAM1024) support”, I don’t have those, another sign of wireless driver problem. In Wireless menu I can only see wl0, but not the wl1 and wl2 I also expected. I was able to install the last Kong build (DD-WRT v3.0-r39960M 06/08/19) as recommended by MyOpenRouter using NMRPFlash, everything looks good except WiFi is not working. I did a lot of online research before switching to the DD-WRT firmware. So I started looking 3rd party solutions. After trying all the stock firmware builds, only the oldest two could boot up, but have a lot of issues (2.4G works, but 5G not working for example). Long story short, my R8500 got in boot loop after a stock firmware upgrade (from 1.0.2.86 to 1.0.2.134).
I am a long-time Windows user, not familiar with Linux so this is quite a learning experience for me. Now I use my old Linksys N router while working on the R8500.
My ISP is Comcast, I use Netgear CM1150V cable modem, Netgear R8500 router before it stopped working. Being new in the firmware tinkering area, I followed the peacock instructions religiously. I have read the peacock thread and all stickies on this board. Hello DD-WRT, I need some help to get my Netgear R8500 working again.
