Installation Procedure

As of now (June, 2007), the only supported version of DD-WRT is beta version 24.

  • 1. Download DD-WRT beta version 24
    • A. Navigate to the DD-WRT Downloads Page -> Beta -> Generic Broadcom -> dd-wrt.v24 beta
    • B. Scroll down to find the latest version (Tested with: 2007 - 0530 from May 5th, 2007)
    • C. Download: dd-wrt.v24_wrt300n.bin
    • D. Keep the downloads page open as you may or may not need it.
  • 2. Open up Internet Explorer (Firefox 2.0.0.4 did not work for me, unfortunately)
    • A. Navigate to your router's web GUI (default location: [1])
    • B. Write down/Copy+Paste any settings you may want to keep (e.g. MAC addresses for MAC filtering)
    • C. Reset the router to its factory defaults
    • D. Navigate to Firmware Upgrade and select dd-wrt.v24_wrt300n.bin in the file browser
    • E. Initiate the upgrade

If you have any issues with the firmware upgrade failing:

  • Download the mini version of DD-WRT beta version 24 (Repeat step one above and download dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt300n.bin instead).
  • Repeat step 2 for installing the mini version.
  • Upgrade to the full version (if you wish)
