The Power light will eventually come one. Shortly after that the WLAN light will come on. Try to load the web configuration page about 5 seconds later; you're done! Check for recommended builds here. Another similar method to flash WRT5. G v. 8 and WRT5. 4GS v.
I've been doing something slightly different on WRT5. G v. 8 and this WRT5.
GS v. 7, it hasn't failed me yet, below are the instructions. I have done this on a countless number of WRT5.
G v. 8s and just did it on a WRT5. GS v. 7 and it worked just the same. There is no resetting in the middle of this process, just do exactly what it says below, no more and no less. My WRT5. 4GS v. 7 has a Broadcom BCM5. KFBG CPU and an EON EN2. LB1. 60. AB- 7. 0TCP flash chip and 1. MB of Samsung RAM.

He felt that it was impossible, that he had bricked one of the routers at first. Messing around with JTAG cables taught him some things, but..
Be absolutely sure that you have tftp set to binary or octel. If you leave tftp in ascii it will appear to work but the flash won't take.]. Use the web interface to reset the router to factory defaults. Manually configure network interface to 1. Any address from 1. In linux, this is sudo ifconfig eth. Use the web inferface to update the firmware to vxworkskiller.

This will time out repeatedly and then the router will respond between two and six times. The router will time out again a few times and then start responding to pings.
At this point, tiger. WLAN light came on and the router functioned normally running DD- WRT]. You're done, try to load 1. Check for recommended builds here.

Background Preparation. Failing to prepare and do your background research can cause considerable frustration, loss of time, and render your modem absolutely useless (bricked). In other words, you may have to literally throw it away. With an hour or so of research, you'll save hours of time in frustration. Before you begin, it is recommended that you look through the installation wiki Installation (particularly its precautions - not necessarily its implementation per se).
Also, the notorious peacock thread [1], and basic techniques such as Hard reset or 3. Tftp flash. These may have some sections in some pages that are not relevant, which you can skim. You will need to review many of the recommended sites to download below.
You'll want to save this page (see below) and come back here, but you will want to get the background first. Be careful about implementation on the wiki. Come back here for the best guide for your modem. According to multiple sources (peacock, wiki), you are going to do almost everything offline with a LAN connection (how to Disable your wireless). The wiki recommends that you download everything you need before you start. Given the many types of problems you can encounter that can prohibit you from getting help, the process of reactivating and deactivating your security settings if you actually can get back online, and the likelihood for browser crashes if you try to just keep the pages up, this makes a lot of sense.
Make sure to save all webpages as HTML. Do not save as compressed html files (some computers default to that) or bookmarks. Do not skip the saving step. Here are the websites to save. In addition, you will probably also need. Before Implementation.
Do not try to skimp on the Hard reset or 3. The peacock thread goes into extensive justifications. Be sure to follow all power cycling and reset instructions as described. The wiki recommends that you only use Internet Explorer as a browser for this process.
Log off your wireless (see the right way to do it). Disable all firewalls and security (how to Disable Security. You should do this AFTER you are offline. Restore before you go back online, something your browser may automatically prompt you to do. Implementation. Configure your computer's local lan ethernet address to 1. Linksys/most modems).
How to Change Ethernet Address). Then connect an Ethernet cable to your computer and port 1 of your router.
Do Not Use Wireless)Power cycle (ie, unplug the power cord from the router). Perform a Hard reset or 3. If you are using certain operating systems, such as Window's Vista, an additional step to Disable Compound TCP may be required. Open your browser to http: //1. Note: Some people, such as sth had problems with Firefox (in June 2.
Firefox 3. 0. 3 in Dec 2. Sth had to Recover from a Bad Flash.). Use the firmware upgrade dialog to flash vxworkskiller. Gv. 8- v. 3. bin. Despite this, the next few steps did work. Please note below for the work- around and Pinging.). If a page opens that says "Management Mode", close your browser and try again.
It may take a couple times.). WAIT for at least two minutes before you continue! Give vxworks killer plenty of time to do its magic! After the 2 minutes is up, if you notice a dialog asking you to reboot the router, go ahead and power cycle the router by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in again. You will not be able to browse the WRT5. If the router doesn't reply you haven't set your computer's network settings correctly (on step 1). Now it's time to flash the DD- WRT firmware using TFTP.
For Windows, enter tftp - i 1. Vista users will need to install TFTP first) If you don't wish to use command line, follow the instructions for using the tftp. The peacock thread will redirect you to [5] for more specific instructions based on your operating system. This is a good resource and may be all you need - clock). For Linux (distros other than Debian or Ubuntu), enter tftp - m octet 1.
Debian or Ubuntu - - The above instructions won't work. Open Terminal and run: ~$: tftp 1. Alternatively for Linux (ie. For OSX, enter tftp - e 1. At the tftp> prompt enter put dd- wrt. The file will now be transfered and flashed to your router. After this is done, dd- wrt will automatically boot.
WAIT for at least two minutes before you continue! Give the router plenty of time to to boot. Make note (perhaps copy) any on- screen instructions. Perform a Hard reset or 3. After about a minute, you can browse dd- wrt on your router at http: //1.
According to the Peacock thread, if the hard reset was done correctly, you will be asked to change your password when you get to the webgui. You may then go on to any of the other options you wish to pursue, such as linking routers [6]. Please see the Peacock thread to make sure that you are pursuing the correct one - do not assume! If you had previously flashed your router with a beta/RC version of v. LAN port 4 and/or wireless, an upgrade to the CFE- Updater and v. Be sure to use the webgui to update to a newer build such as 1.
Newd_Micro. bin once you have dd- wrt running. See the peacock thread announcement for further information. BB2/viewtopic. php?
When selecting a build, do not use any build with NEWD2 in the name. NEWD Micro Only! Check for recommended builds here. Upgrading. If dd- wrt is already on the router follow these instructions. If stock firmware is on the router follow the flashing instructions. Check for recommended builds here first. Set your computer to a static IP of 1. Disable all firewalls and security.
Disable wireless on your computer and only have the router connected to the flashing computer by the ethernet cable between the two. Hard reset or 3. 0/3. If the router supports it, if not, reset to defults in the GUI) prior to flashing.
Wait. Check for password page on re- login and change password. Flash firmware. You can use the webgui except if you have a belkin router. For belkin use tftp. Wait.. at least three minutes.
Lights should return to normal. See important. 2, below. Failing to wait is how most people brick their routers. Do a power cycle of the router. Unplug the cord, count to 3. Wait for the lights to return to normal usually about 2 minutes. Hard reset or 3. 0/3.
If the router supports it, if not, reset to defults in the GUI). Wait. Check for the password page and re- login to change the password. Then you can reconfigure your settings manually. Once configured set your computer back to auto. IP and auto. DNS.
