Preliminary

I have just ordered 4 of these routers, so next week, i'll be loading DD-WRT to them.

So far I am gathering information about this router.

Router database says CPU BCM5356, 16Mb RAM and 4Mb flash, but forum says 32Mb RAM and 8Mb Flash


Hardware

  • 5 dBi antenna
  • 802.11b, g & n (max 150Mbps)
  • Powersupply - DC Output : 12 V with max. 1 A current
  • Buttons: WPS Button, Reset Button, Power Button

Installation Instructions

Please note: The RT-N10U does REQUIRE the K26 Firmware builds as Broadcom has not released drivers for the non-K26 builds. (Read more here: Recommended Firmwares).

Principle steps

  • Clear settings (Clear NVRAM)
  • Install the INITIAL ASUS RT-N10U version of DD-WRT (file name ends in .trx)
  • Clear settings (Clear NVRAM)
  • "Upgrade" to your final version of DD-WRT (filename ends in .bin)
  • Clear settings (Clear NVRAM)

How its done

  • Clear settings (Clear NVRAM)
  • You might be able to upload the .trx file using the stock web GUI
  • Or you can likely set it in "Recover mode" (same as other Asus routers) and then use one of the tftp utilities to serve the firmware to the router.
Current tftp utilities are:
  • Asus Recovery utility.
  • see Asus_TFTP_Flash for 7 other tftp tools/mentions for Linux, Windows and Mac
  • Clear settings (Clear NVRAM)

Upgrade to newer DD-WRT

  • Clear settings (Clear NVRAM)
  • use the DD-WRT web gui: Administration -> Firmware upgrade
  • Clear settings (Clear NVRAM)
