Got my hands on an Atheros based Dual Radio router.
I have to admit it was hard to flash. I finally got it to, the trick was to use an older version of DDWRT. Also this was one of the first routers I got that had openwrt installed on it.
I think the prior owner screwed up the flash.
It kept wanting to boot to openwrt, or had some sort of openwrt bootloader.
I finally got it flashed to the stock 10.0.0.12 from netgear. I will attempt to install the latest now.
