1) Buffalo firmware header: Inspecting the original Buffalo firmware one can see the custom 34 bytes header (before HDR0).

WBR-G54, WBR-B11

00h:  57 42 52 2D 42 31 31 20 32 2E 32 30 20 31 2E 31 ; WBR-B11 2.20 1.1
01h:  36 0A 66 69 6C 65 6C 65 6E 3D 33 32 31 39 34 35 ; 6.filelen=321945
02h:  36 0A                                           ; 6.

WLA-G54

00h:  57 4C 41 2D 47 35 34 20 32 2E 30 35 20 31 2E 30 ; WLA-G54 2.05 1.0
01h:  32 0A 66 69 6C 65 6C 65 6E 3D 32 35 34 37 37 31 ; 2.filelen=254771
02h:  32 0A                                           ; 2.

You will need to insert these 34 bytes to the DD-WRT generic firmware if you want to flash using Buffalo's WEB interface. You must also adjust the "filelen=" number to reflect the size of DD-WRT.

2) Buffalo default IP address: Default IP addres is 192.168.11.1. Router will also listen to this address during boot. It will answer to pings with TTL=128.


3) Flashing

Before flashing be sure to restore to factory defaults. Also check if you can connect to the router wirelessly.

3a) Flashing using tftp:

Use the original DD-WRT generic version. Load it at boot time at 192.168.11.1. After succesful transfer please wait 2-3 min., or util router reboots.

3b) Flashing using Buffalo's WEB interface:

Use the DD-WRT generic version with added 34 bytes header. After succesful transfer please wait 2-3 min., or util router reboots.


4) After flash:

You will be able to access the router at 192.168.11.1. Do not restore to factory defaults or clear nvram!
