Linksys WRT54G2 Flash Instructions

A big thanks to Eko for making this available.

Contents

Software Tools Required

- VxWorksPrep-G2V1 - VxWorksKiller-G2V1 - Linksys tftp.exe - dd-wrt.v24-10709_NEWD_micro.bin - (Always recommended to check for newer versions available)

Flash Process

  • install Linksys tftp.exe, set your PC to static IP, 192.168.1.10.
    • 1. Reset the router to defaults on the Linksys Admin page, and let it reboot

or manually reboot it after it is finished.

    • 2. Set your computer to a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and 255.255.255.0 for a mask

and plug Ethernet cable into LAN port of the G2v1 unit.

    • 3. Close all browser windows. Start the Linksys's tftp.exe utility, set IP to 192.168.1.1

and browse to the VxWorksPrep-G2V1.bin file; enter password = admin, and click Upgrade. Wait 60 seconds for it to reboot on its own. If it does not, then power cycle the router manually.

    • 4. DO NOT open any browser windows. Again, start Linksys's tftp.exe utility and browse to

the VxWorksKiller-G2V1.bin file; enter password = admin, and click Upgrade. Wait 2 min for it to reboot on its own. If it does not, then power cycle the router manually.

    • 5. Tftp the DD-WRT firmware to the router, using "dd-wrt.v24-10709_NEWD_micro.bin" (or latest version) from the folder where you got these instructions; after successful tftp, wait 3 min for

the router to finish writing new nvram defaults, etc... It should reboot on it's own at least two times, so give it the 3 min and then go to http://192.168.1.1 If it does not reboot on its own, wait another 1 min, and then power cycle it.

    • 6. When it finishes booting....do a hard reset on the unit....let it boot again,

and configure.

    • 7. Do not forget to set your computer back to automatically obtaining DHCP and DNS.


Notes.....

It may be necessary to completely close and reopen the browser, it sometimes will return to a management screen, if you only refresh the browser after upgrading. Just close the browser and try again.
