Re: R6300v2 firmware not updating from V1.0.3.6_1.0.63CH
I post the following for those who stumble upon this thread in the future and wonder what the eventual solution was.
By cobbling together the steps below from various sites, threads, suggestions and then modifying it for current conditions.
This worked for me and left me right where I wanted to be .
I used the following procedure specifically to remove the CH (charter) version and revert back to V1.0.3.22_10.0.67 – same version, but no longer Charter. From this I could then upgrade to the latest version from Netgear. If you’re looking to do something different you will need to modify these instructions for your purposes. Again, this worked for me, but may not for you for any number of reasons. Good luck.
1. Manually Backup your router settings - write them down
1. Backup your router settings 2. Flash the new firmware dd-wrt.K3_R6300V2CH.chk 3. NOTE: The router interface will change drastically. See here for more details on dd-wrt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT 4. You will need to navigate to flash the new updated firmware. 5. Flash the new firmware which currently is V1.0.3.22_10.0.67 6. Wait till the router is fully flashed and restarted. 7. Factory reset your router.

Not I. I've never touched one of those routers, and I have no actual experience with any of the firmware for it. All I know is what I read in the papers. You know about as much as I do about this procedure.
Knowing nothing, I'd've guessed that the TFTP recovery scheme by itself would have done the job, but various people have reported that you need to use that more elaborate procedure with the third-party firmware. What do I know?
