Flashing instructions for the E2000

1) Disconnect all cables and wireless clients.

2) Do a 30/30/30 reset on router.

3) Connect 1 Lan cable to pc doing the flash.

4) Log into Web Interface and flash the firmware ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24-K26/svn15230/dd-wrt.v24-15230_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-e2000.bin

5) Wait 5 minutes until WAN light turns on.

6) Power cycle by unplugging E2000 for 30 secs.

7) Plug E2000 back in and wait about 5 minutes until it finishes booting.

8 ) Do a 30/30/30 reset on router.

9) Wait 3 minutes and log into web interface.

As of July 2010 you can only use the trailed builds with the e2000 name in it and nothing else, using other bin's without the e2000 name in it may result in a bricked unit!

Also it has been asked about the builds with e2k-e3k name in them, these builds are for if you already have those units flashed with dd-wrt, you can simply use one of those builds to upgrade, but the initial flash should always be done with the trailed build (build with the unit only name in it) linked above.

Some useful tips

I have noticed with these style of linksys units, cooling can be very important to its performance, thus I have done a nice easy mod that will allow air flow for under the unit. Check this post for details. http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=475684&highlight=#475684 -buddee

Also there are problems with the wireless LED using the above build, you can however upgrade to this build, which fixes the LED problems, you can do this after and only after you flash with the above initial flash procedure. The build within this post (14974) is not for initial flashing. http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=474134&highlight=#474134 -buddee
