December 23, 2007 User: UnraisedArc20 Content: Hello. I am trying to flash DD-WRT firmware onto my fonera router, but the firmware version is 7.2 r2. I have tried the reset button hack but it did not work. My router is about a year old, so the original firmware is 7.1 r1 I believe. How do I get back to this firmware? Thanks, Unraised

Bridge mode available for WRT300N (Linksys)?

I'm wanting to set up a bridged network using a Linksys WRT300N. I've done it using a WRT54G but before I buy the WRT300N I wondered if anyone has done this or if the bridge mode is even available for this router. Thanks. -Kapuna

P.S. The reason I want to use the WRT300N is for the extended range of the 802.11n protocol. Does the current flash (or RC or beta) support this protocol? Thanks -Kapuna (2/2/08)

have a fonera 2100 with v24 RC6.2 and is not working in router anymore

practicaly it doesen't do what it was ment to do, i mean to be a wireless router when you use the ethernet port for internet and connect wireless devices to the wlan the router can obtain ip/netmask/dns as wan and the wireless devices connected to him recieve ip from 192.168.1.100 class, and i can ping sites in the internet. but i can not open webpages, connect to messenger...nothing...am i doing something wrong?

wrt54G debrik procedure with jtag cable .... help me

Hello people

I have briked my wrt54g v.5 during the upgrade with dd-wrt firmware (the power led blinking, the reste procedure don't work, no managment page http)

I tried whit jtag cable and hairdairy... 4.8 but I' dont know the file to flash ex. cfe.bin I have create with (imgtool_nvram.exe) kernel.bin I have used (03_dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin)

but the router don't work :-(

it's possible to have the sequences of file to flash cfe.bin = ???? nvram.bin = ????? kernel.bin = ????? wholeflash.bin = ?????

for the latest stable dd-wrt and is possible the original file for the linksys in the linksys site is possible to download only firmaware that i think is the kernel.bin ?

Thanks a lot

for your precious support

Bridging a Linksys WRT150N to a Linksys WRT300N

I mistakenly bought the Linksys gear thinking I could configure them to connect to each other via their wireless interfaces. Then I discovered both devices only operate as Access-points with Linksys firmware.

Using dd-wrt I was able to get the Linksys WRT150N v1.1 to associate with my Linksys WRT300N v1.1 in Client Bridge mode. I can now connect hosts that don't support wireless adapters to my home network.

I followed the instructions under the Wireless Bridge page. I first flashed the 150N with dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin followed by dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin.

I set mode to N-only on both the 150N & 300N. The 150N's IP address is 192.168.1.2 which I set manually. I am using WPA2-Personal, AES encryption and a pass-phrase.


Thank you dd-wrt team!!

Netgear WGR614

I'm thinking of getting one of these to use as a wireless repeater since they seem to be pretty cheap used (eg comp to linksys). I'm lookin at a couple for sale that are version 7 but your compatibility table only lists version 8. would a V7 or other earlier versions take dd-wrt? Also, would this router be any good as a repeater?

WRT54G vs. WRT54GL

WRT54G v2.2 vs. WRT54GL v4.30.5

Hello,

I flashed my WRT54G with dd-wrt.v23_mini_wrt54g, and accessed the web interface using “root” as the user name and “admin” as the password. This process worked fine. Then I flashed the router again, this time with dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic. Now I can’t get into the router. I have tried using with “root” and “admin” in a few different combinations. I want to get in to flash it again with dd-wrt.v24_std_generic for the last time. I think this is what I need to do…

Also, my Linksys router indicates that it is a WRT54G v2.2 on the bottom of it, but the inside interface original firmware indicates that it is a WRT54GL v4.30.5, Which one should I believe and which directions should I follow to convert it to a repeater or bridge?

Thanks-a-ton for your help!

WRT54G3G and GT MAX with a new firmware

Hi,

I've just bought a WRT54G3G router and used with an Option GT MAX 7.2 card from T-Mobile. It has been OK for today when I had to change the firmware of the card to a new one. Firmware version: 2.5.11Hd (Date: Feb 11 2008, Time: 15:10:46)

Until the time of firmware change the router doesn't find the card.

Can you help me if there is a version of DD-WRT which solve this problem?

Thank you in advance,

- amma

Setting up WRT54G as Access Point with one Broadcast Domain

I have a cisco 2600 as my main router and I am adding a WRT54G (v5 running DD-WRT Generic) to the network via a cisco 2924 switch. I need the entire network to maintain one broadcast domain for apple's Bonjour protocall to work properly. I have the WRT54G setup with DHCP off, mode="router" and connected via port #4 to my switch. This works to provide internet connectivity to my wireless computers but it seems to segment broadcast domains. I have clicked "LAN Uplink Through WAN Port" as I believe this is supposed to make the WRT54G act like a layer 2 switch. But it does not seem to work.

Am I missing something? Please help.

Advice please: wireless bridge or repeater

Hi,

I am setting up wireless connection in my house and need some help...is repeater same functionality as bridge?

Scenario:

I have a wireless router on second floor and that setup works fine....I want to setup a similar setup in the ground floor and share it with basement, but unfortunately I can't run Cat6 from second floor to ground level. So I am thinking should I get a second router, install it on ground floor and use it in "client" mode only? or should I setup to repeat the first router?? I would like to computers connected to this second router be able to access computers on first router for sharing etc...

Thanks

Adding Netgear router as wireless

I have a Linksys wireless router that I am using as a switch only - I have the radio turned off. I have a Netgear WNR834B v2 that I am using as the wireless source.... it comes off of the back of the Linksys and everything works fine. My problem is that I can only access the Linksys remotely - I cannot see the Netgear. Any idea on how to make the remote access work on the Netgear? I'm a newbie, so please spell it out in easy-to-understand terms.

Thanks!

where is /tmp/.ipt created from?

Greetings all --

Here is the deal - i created a PPTP connection to my dd-wrt router in the states.. Using the GUI I created a rule for forwarding a bunch of ports (1024:65535) to a Linux box for bind. Well now I can't make a PPTP connection since PPTP uses a port within this range.

So fortunately, I am able to ssh into the linux box (since previously I setup a port forward for ssh). From here I am able to telnet into the router.

I first go to /tmp/.ipt and delete the lines that contact this port forward for the range of ports - reboot the router and find out that this file gets created at boot time. Ok.

So my question is -- from what file does this get created from? What file can I edit to remove these port forwards? I snooped everywhere and could not find this file - only a nvram file which is a binary file which looks to me where this information is stored - but I could be wrong. this is my first time snooping in dd-wrt

Next question, using iptables I remove the fowards -- and verify they are removed but I still can not get a pptp connection even with these (1024:65535) forwards removed. why??

thanks so much
