How To Flash
== WRT54GS v2 == Chipset - BCM4712 -- Ram - 32mb -- Flash - 8mb
As of 3/2/11 these are the following files you will need to flash dd-wrt to your WRT54GS v2 router. Factory Firmware - WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw.bin' This file has been removed by linksys but Redhawk0 posted this link elsewhere http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/download.php?id=20701&sid=9e3af0c0fed09f1eeef7e263524ba33b
- Be aware that applying the firmware update WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw.bin to Version 1.0 WRT54GS routers can Kill your router.
Initial Flash-
- If you are going to Flash via TFP: [ ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2010/08-12-10-r14929/broadcom/dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt54gs.bin dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt54gs.bin]
- If you are going to Flash via the Web GUI: dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt54gs.bin
Also download this VINT File: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24_TNG/svn13491-snow/VINT/dd-wrt.v24-13491_VINT_mini.bin
Before we begin, make sure you have done the following:
- Turned off your Anti-Virus & Firewall

- Do a Reset by keeping the router powered on and holding the reset button on the back for 30 seconds
FLASHING At this time the only thing connected to the router is the Power and Ethernet to PC The Steps Listed Below Are For Flashing via the Web GUI - NOT TFTP"
- READ the Peacock Announcement prior to flashing: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486
- Open IE and enter the following address: 192.168.1.1
- User = (Leave Blank)
- Password = admin
- If you don't know the Login Info, Do a Reset. This will restore the router back to factory defaults.
- Look at the top Right Corner and make sure your Firmware is at 4.71.4
- If your Firmware IS up to date, Go to: Administration > Factory Defaults > Restore > Apply Settings

- User = root
- Password = admin
- You don't need to enter new Login info yet since you will be flashing a different version of dd-wrt and will need to set it once you are done with the next flash
- Go to: Administration > Firmware Upgrade (select the VINT file you downloaded earlier ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24_TNG/svn13491-snow/VINT/dd-wrt.v24-13491_VINT_mini.bin) > Upgrade
