Flashing DD-WRT on the ASUS RT-G32: Step-By-Step Instructions
Quick Info
Hardware: ASUS RT-G32 (this is not the Rev B version!)
dd-wrt version: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (11/21/10) std (SVN revision 15778)
OS used to flash: Windows XP
Preparation
- Download ASUS firmware. I used RT-G32_V3.0.2.1_RU09.bin
- Download the ASUS Firmware Restoration tool. I used version 1.0.12.0
- Network settings needed for ASUS flashing tool.
- IP: 192.168.1.254
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway 192.168.1.1
- DNS can be left blank.
- Set these in Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> TCP/IP -> Properties on Windows XP.
- Download asus-to-dd-wrt.bin, I used build 15778
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!
