[edit] Hardware Specifications

See Netgear R9000 on wikidevi

This router tin can handle top VPN speeds, equally of 2019.

Please notation, Wireless-AD (60GHz) support is untested at this fourth dimension, 2019.

10g interface- supported SFP hardware info: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1230130#1230130

[edit] Installation

Download and flash the manufacturing plant-to-ddwrt.img file:

1. Authenticate to the router. The original Netgear firmware defaults to IP address 192.168.ane.ane, username "admin" and password "password"
2. Become to the Assistants page - so Upgrade (or something similar).
3. You will see a notice nearly the file yous uploaded beingness older than the firmware currently on the router. Click Yep to continue.
4. The router volition flash DD-WRT. Look a few minutes (5 min to exist safe).

Try logging into DD-WRT at http://192.168.1.ane. You should see a screen asking you to create a username and password.

[edit] Recovery

The same rules use for dd-wrt tftp equally you would for stock below. Just make sure you grab the factory-to-dd-wrt.IMG file.

ONLY IMG files can be TFTP'd onto the router.

Make sure yous statically set the IP address on your estimator to 192.168.1.2; subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway to 192.168.1.1.

If you want to go back to stock: All you need to exercise is TFTP the stock firmware back onto the router. Make certain to manufactory reset dd-wrt on the admin>factory defaults tab. Catch the latest Firmware file from Netgear: https://world wide web.netgear.com/support/product/R9000.aspx#download

one. Get TFTP64 installed on your PC https://www.tftpd64.com/ (MAKE SURE TO Allow THIS PROGRAM IN YOUR FIREWALL FOR BOTH PUBLIC AND Private NETWORKS OR You'LL NEVER Ship THE IMG FILE)

2.Read how to utilise "TFTP client mode"- https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-client

3.Get the TFTP programme upward and running and ready to push the right file onto the router- so you volition await for step 6 beneath.

To put the R9000 into TFTP fashion.

1. Power off the router.

two.Hold downwards the reset button.

3.Power on the router and go on holding downwards the reset button.

iv.When the router offset boots the power led flashes orange and and then it will switch to a tiresome white flash. Keep holding downwards reset push button. The slow white flash volition change to a faster white flash and then to a second even faster white flash. Let it blink 3-four on the 2nd set of faster white flashes and let go of the reset push and now send the IMG file via TFTP. When the ability LED is fast white blinking, the router is in TFTP mode and ready to accept any IMG file (Stock or dd-wrt). You volition take about 2-iii minutes to send the IMG file.

5. Go to the tftp programme and re-select your NIC with the static IP 192.168.1.2 from the dropdown. Information technology will change as you lot kicking the router initially so you have to become back and select the correct NIC/IP in the TFTP programme. (You tin avoid this by using a cheap/impaired 1gig switch which keeps your NIC active the whole time and shouldn't take to worry nearly re-selecting the right NIC in the dropdown)

6. Push button the file onto the router using TFTP64.

7.Wait a full v minutes before touching the router. It should practice it's update and reboot by itself. Keep your browser open up and try to load 192.168.i.1 It should load the stock firmware gui/website automatically once the router is booted. If the stock gui loads, clear your static NIC settings to grab IP'southward automatically again.

8. If 5 minutes have passed and nothing has happened performing website refreshes, so reboot the router manually and endeavor loading the gui website again.

[edit] VLAN Detached networks

Putting any of the 6 ethernet ports on a separate discrete VLAN network is complicated by the fact that at that place are ii internal hardware switches used past R9000 for routing traffic. Creating additional Vlan's on the R9000, right now, has not nevertheless been "figured out" for the vi ehternet ports.

However, the SFP+ port tin can be easily segregated into its ain VLAN since it's the only port associated with the eth0 interface. Read below for how to unbridge eth0, which is bridged to br0 by default .

[edit] Detaching the SFP+ port

To create a 10 gb/sec VLAN, kickoff past setting upwardly the SFP+ port as you would any VAP by navigating to Setup > Networking:

Side by side, under the Port Setup heading, locate the group box called Network Configuration eth0 and unbridge the interface past selecting the Unbridged radio push assigned to Span Assignment. Since it's going to exist a VLAN, select the Cyberspace Isolation radio button to isolate it from the rest of your network and assign IP/Subnet mask of your choosing.

Optionally, yous tin forcefulness DNS redirection if you lot want the devices on that VLAN to exist forced into using a preferred DNS server choice by enabling the Forced DNS Redirection selection and entering the DNS server IP in the Optional DNS Target text boxes.

Terminate here and click Save and Apply Settings at the bottom of the folio, in that guild.

Finally, create a DHCP server for your newly minted VLAN by scrolling to the bottom of the same page and, under the DHCPD heading, click the Add push to create a new DHCP server. In the ensuing list box, ringlet through the list of interfaces and select eth0, brand sure it is enabled by selecting On in the neighboring list box, get out the default charter time or alter it, click Salve, then Apply Settings, in that order.

Restart for good measure and begin using the SFP+ VLAN.

Every bit for choice of SFP+ modules, annotation that at that place really isn't whatsoever meaningful speed difference between them as shown in this Serve The Dwelling house YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?five=4qM9dyEuaS4

As well annotation that the SFP+ modules practice become hot. I would modify the fan threshold parameters to make certain that your R9000 fans stay on 24/vii. They aren't loud and could help go along mobo and CPU speeds in bank check during the incoming summertime months while transferring files at 10 gb/sec in your new VLAN.
