Firmware Install Procedure

1) Download the initial DD-WRT firmware Initial Firmware.

2) Download the latest recommended firmware .

3) Navigate to your ASUS Router administration and do a firmware update using the DD-WRT Firmware.

4) After the device has rebooted you should be able to login to the default address http://192.168.0.1

5) Now navigate to "Administration" -> "Firmware Upgrade" and upgrade to the latest recommended firmware you downloaded.

Tips/Notes

- By default the wireless will come up as dd-wrt and is open. You should lock it down right away by navigating to wireless -> wireless security.

- If you set the Regulatory Domain to Canada a lot of wireless channels become unavailable and you may notice instability. Up in Canada we had to set the Regulatory Domain to United States, and set Regulatory Mode to Off.

- If you change your network Local IP Address to another network like 192.168.2.1 it seems to clear the "Gateway" IP setting below it. After rebooting make sure your Gateway is also set to the same IP.
