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 30th, 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: http://192.168.1.1)
- 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
- 3. If you have any issues with the firmware upgrade failing:
- A. Download the mini version of DD-WRT beta version 24 (Repeat step one above and download dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt300n.bin instead).
- B. Repeat step 2 for installing the mini version.
- C. Upgrade to the full version (if you wish)
Post-Installation
Once you have the firmware upgraded, your router is already set and ready to be used, configured, etc.
Known Issues
- I use static DHCP for my network and found that this page had strange errors (incorrect labels, missing radio buttons). If this happens to you, try a hard reset (hold the reset button in the back of the router for at least 10 seconds). This fixed this problem for me.
- Relatively same issue with MAC filtering, except the only issue was that hte word "error" replaced labels.
- I changed some settings in the administration page and it changed my language to one of the Asian character sets (no, I did not change the language in the selection box). I was honestly too lazy to try and figure out where the language section was, so I hard reset the router and it defaulted back to English.
