Dd Wrt Firmware Upgrade
my router and tried (unsuccessfully) to reset & repair it using the wiki instructions. But I came back to it a week later and was able to connect! The only difference was that I was using a different laptop this time. Hmm... The thing was, when I connected to the web interface, DD-WRT DID actually install, despite the error message. The only issue was the incorrect MAC address, which I cloned to the one on the bottom dd wrt firmware upgrade connection reset of the WAP (I cloned WAN and Wireless to the same one, hopefully that doesn't make a difference). After doing this, I lost ability to open the web interface again. Then it hit me: The reason I couldn't connect (BOTH times) was that the MAC address got changed (first from factory to DD-WRT default, then back to factory). Windows (XP) was trying to connect via HTTP to that IP via the associated MAC address, which was no longer valid, and it timed out. Pings still worked fine. I checked the arp table (from a command prompt: arp -a) and sure enough, the MAC address for the WAP IP was the wrong one. So I just cleared the arp table cache in XP. From a command line, type: netsh interface ip delete arpcache Worked like a charm! XP added the new, changed MAC address to the arp table and HTTP traffic (web interface) works just dandy again. HTH someone in the future... Jesse Thank you for the information....I linked to this post in the wiki. redhawk_________________I currently test dd-wrt on Asus, Buffalo, Linksys, and Netgear.

8) router to use the DD-WRT firmware. According to Wikipedia, the Linksys WRT54G v8.0 is "currently one of the most commonly available (routers) at US retail establishments, such as Best Buy and Target". Due to hardware limitations, the 8.x versions (8.0, 8.1 and 8.2) are only able to run the "micro" version of the DD-WRT firmware (you can find a firmware version feature comparison chart here). Even so, the micro version of the DD-WRT firmware provides dozens of features, many of which are not available with the default Linksys firmware. This walkthrough is based on the WRT54G v8.x tutorial on the DD-WRT wiki. The biggest difference between this one and the one on the DD-WRT wiki is that I've elaborated a bit, and provided screenshots for each step. Please make sure you understand each step before you complete this tutorial. If you're unsure of anything, please leave a comment and I'll respond as soon as I can. It is possible to brick (render the router unusable) your device if done incorrectly. You'll need to use a wired (not wireless) computer to flash your WRT54G with the DD-WRT firmware. Make sure that computer (doesn't matter if it's a Mac or PC running Windows or Linux) is plugged in to Port 1 of your router. Unplug all other devices from the router - you can leave the WAN port plugged in to your cable/DSL modem. Download the files vxworkskillerGv8-v3.bin and dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin to the computer you're going to use to flash your WRT54G (the one plugged in to Port 1 of your router). You'll need to set your computer to use the following static IP settings: IP Address: 192.168.1.100 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 OS X Static IP Settings Windows Static IP Settings Unplug the power cord from the WRT54G. Push the Reset button (see image below) while plugging the power cord back in, and hold down the button for about 20 seconds. Use a pencil or ball-point pen to push and hold the Reset button - it's a bit recessed and very difficult to push and hold with your finger or fingernail. click to
