How To Flash the WRT54GS v7 (from flashing.txt)

1. Configure your local lan ethernet address to 192.168.1.100 and connect your local ethernet to your WRT54GSv7 on one of the 4 switch ports.

2. Plugoff the power cord from the WRT54GSv7.

3. Push the reset button while replugin the power cord and hold the button for about 20 seconds.

4. Open your browser and open http://192.168.1.1

5. Use the firware upgrade dialog to flash vxworkskillerGSv7-v3.bin

6. After the dialog is shown that you need to plugoff the power cord, remove the power cord and replug it in.

7. Wait for about 2 minutes.

8. Plugoff the power cord again and replug it in.

9. Enter "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin" on your local windows console and press enter (for linux, tftp 192.168.1.1; mode octet;put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin).

10. The file will now be transfered to your router and be flashed. after this is done, dd-wrt will automaticly boot and you can reach your router at http://192.168.1.1.
