How To Flash the WRT54G v8 Using RC5
- Configure your local lan ethernet address to 192.168.1.100, subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1 and connect your local ethernet to your WRT54Gv8 in port 1.
- Unplug the power cord from the WRT54Gv8.
- Push the reset button while plugging in the power cord and hold the button for about 20 seconds.
- Open your browser and open http://192.168.1.1
- Use the firmware upgrade dialog to flash vxworkskillerGv8-v3.bin.
- You will see a dialog to Reboot the device. Power cycle the router by unplugging the power cord, then plugging it in.
- Wait for about 1 - 2 minutes.
- You will not be able to browse the WRT54 at this point, but you should be able to ping 192.168.1.1.
- Now it's time to flash the DD-WRT firmware using TFTP
- If you're on Windows, enter
tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin
at yourcmd
shell - If you're on Linux, enter
tftp -m octet 192.168.1.1 -c put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin
at your shell - In Ubuntu Linux I entered atftp --option "mode octet" --verbose -p -l dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin192.168.1.1
- If you're on OSX, enter
tftp -e 192.168.1.1
. At thetftp>
prompt enterput dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin
at your shell
- If you're on Windows, enter
- The file will now be transfered and flashed to your router. After this is done, dd-wrt will automatically boot, the power light will be on, and you can browse your router at http://192.168.1.1.
