WARNING: There are at least two types of flash chips that are used on the v7 router. Using this method with an Intel-type flash chip will brick your router. Currently there is no solution for using vxworkskiller with the Intel-chip v7 routers.

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 four switch ports.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the WRT54GSv7.

3. Push the reset button while reconnecting 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 firmware upgrade dialogue to flash vxworkskillerGSv7-v3.bin

6. After the dialogue about disconnecting the power cord is shown, disconnect the power cord and reconnect it.

7. Wait for about two minutes.

8. Again disconnect the power cord and reconnect it.

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 or tftp -v -m octet 192.168.1.1 -c put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin).

10. The file will now be transferred to your router and be flashed. After this is done, your router will boot automatically and you can reach your it at http://192.168.1.1.
