Please see this thread for information on E1000 and dd-wrt compatibility http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=79673


Serial Recovery

I had an awfully difficult time doing serial recovery on this router. It was my first time so you can imagine that I had no idea what I was doing. There are some slight deviations from the standard serial recovery procedure that is in the Wiki so I decided it would be a good idea to add the information here. First of all, the pinout is the same as the E2000 (at least for the E1000 v2).

You should familiarize yourself with the Serial Recovery article before trying this, I'm not going to explain everything again here.

Here is the serial pinout. Image:Http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/files/imag0047 178.jpg

Looking from the back of the router you should see the 2x6 JTAG port and above that 5 holes. These 5 holes are the serial port. Again, looking from the back of the router: VCC - RX - TX - ? - Gnd

Once at the prompt you need to assign an IP/Subnet mask to eth0. I'm not sure if eth0 is the routers interface to the switch or one specific port but I had a CAT5 cable hooked up to port 1 on the router and it worked.

If you type "ifconfig eth0" you will see that there is no address assigned to the interface. The following command will assign an address/mask.

CFE> ifconfig eth0 addr=192.168.1.1 mask=255.255.255.0

Now you can flash using a TFTP client from your computer, which is plugged in to port 1 on the router, just like the Serial Recovery page says.

flash -ctheader : flash1.trx
