Flashing DD-WRT on the ASUS RT-G32: Step-By-Step Instructions

by --Tilex 01:35, 20 January 2010 (CET)


Quick Info

router flashed: brand new ASUS RT-G32 (obtained in January 2010. came with asus firmware v3.0.1.7)

dd-wrt build flashed: v24-sp2 (12/28/09) std (SVN revision 13525)

OS used to flash: Windows 7 x64


Preparation

  • Start off with a fresh RT-G32. Reset it to factory defaults.
  • Set your ethernet card up to use a static ip. Use 192.168.1.166, gateway 192.168.1.1, no dns server.
  • You'll need to run a TFTP server. I used Tftpd32.
  • You'll also need a telnet client. I used putty.
  • Download linux.bin from here.
  • place linux.bin in the root of your TFTP directory.


Connecting to RedBoot

In order to flash the router, you'll need to access RedBoot on the router via telnet.


Here are the settings I used for putty:


host name: 192.168.1.1

port: 9000

connection type: telnet

close window on exit: never


Plug your ethernet cable in to port 4 on the router. Then plug in the power to the router, wait 3 seconds, then click "Open" in putty to start your telnet session. This may take you a few tries to get it to connect. On a successful connection, putty should display something like this:


== Executing boot script in 1.920 seconds - enter ^C to abort

^C

RedBoot>


Flashing From RedBoot

now enter these commands into your telnet client exactly: [my comments are in square brackets]


ip_address -l 192.168.1.1/24 -h 192.168.1.166 [press enter]

fis init [press enter]

y [press enter]

load -r -b 0x80041000 linux.bin [press enter]

fis create linux [press enter. there won't be any console output until it's done running... took just under 4 minutes for me.]

fconfig [press enter twice]

fis load -l linux [press enter]

exec [press enter exactly 12 times]

y [press enter. it will take about 5 seconds to respond.]

reset [press enter]


At this point the router will reboot. Wait at least 1 minute and 25 seconds and then you should be able to point your browser to http://192.168.1.1/ and access the dd-wrt control panel. (note: it always seems to take about 1 minute and 25 seconds for the router to boot up. In other words, every time you apply power or restart the router, it will take about 1 minute and 25 seconds for the dd-wrt control panel to be accessable.)


Once you're in the dd-wrt control panel, goto Administration/Factory Defaults, click "Yes" and "Apply Settings".


All done!
