[edit] Flashing Instructions
- Download the initial flash trailed (e1200v2) build: 19519 K2.6 mini e1200v2 is known to work
- Upgrades: Download an -nv64k.bin build: K3X is recommended (see Where do I download firmware?)
WARNING: only use nv64k builds to upgrade. Don't confuse this with other Linksys E-Series units use nv60k builds!
- These instructions were performed with an e1200v2 running FW_E1200_v2.0.07.002_US_20150108.bin
- With a wired connection, log into the Linksys Web Interface Firmware Upgrade page.
- Do a reset using the stock web interface. Wait a minute.
- Flash the initial flash firmware: dd-wrt.v24-19519_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e1200v2.bin
- Wait 2 minutes for the router to flash and reboot itself.
- Wait about another 2 minutes until it finishes booting.
- Log into the dd-wrt web interface and set a password
- Flash the -nv64k.bin upgrade build then when complete, reset using the GUI
- Wait 3-4 minutes for the flash to complete, then if isn't accessible, manually power cycle the router
For download links, build information, and more: Where do I download firmware?
Minimum build with the Broadcom krack fixes is 33772. See here for more info.
[edit] No LAN ports After Reset
There is a persistent bug with some E-series routers in DD-WRT after a reset, where the LAN-ethernet ports are not bound to anything, and only wireless (WLAN) is working initially.
Fix: access the web interface using wireless and add vlan1 (ethernet ports) back to the bridge.
- For a step-by-step and more details see here.
[edit] Recovering from Management Recovery Mode
Follow the E1500 directions, substituting e1500 for e1200v2 and using the appropriate firmware.
[edit] Reverting to Stock Firmware
Download the stock firmware image from the manufacturer's website (link), reset the router back to defaults using a 30-30-30 hard reset, then flash the stock image from within the dd-wrt webgui. After 5 minutes it should finish, you will then need to do another 30-30-30 reset and then access the stock webgui @ 192.168.1.1
