I recently flashed to DDWRT on this router and found that the LAN speeds are suboptimal and buggy. I attempted to switch back to the stock firmware through the emergency interface by holding down the reset button for 45 seconds, but when I upload the 2.02NA firmware (stock firmware - even mentions on the bottom of the unit) the router responds by saying i've uploaded the wrong image and that the hardware IDs don't match.

Any suggestions?

Check on the DD-WRT forums, they can probably give you instructions, or perhaps suggest a better firmware version than the one you're using. I know that their website recommends some bad versions which their forum will tell you to ignore.
