- | |||
- | 3) Access the linksys webgui at http://192.168.1.1 l:admin p:admin | ||
- | |||
- | 4) Go to the tab Administration > Firmware Upgrade and select the WRT54G Trailed Build file that you downloaded in step 1. | ||
- | |||
- | 5) Go ahead and flash, you need to wait 6 minutes for file to completely flash safely, do not power cycle or reset in any way! | ||
- | |||
- | 6) Browser should refresh to the new dd-wrt webgui at 192.168.1.1 prompting you to change your user/password. Go ahead and enter a temporary user/pass. | ||
- | |||
- | 7) Once in the dd-wrt webgui go to Administration > Factory Defaults and select to restore factory defaults. | ||
- | |||
- | 8) This will hard reset your router, which will take about 2-3 minutes to complete. | ||
- | |||
- | 9) After it is finished you can then re-access the dd-wrt webgui at 192.168.1.1, it will again want you to set a user/pass, go ahead and do so, then begin to set settings and enjoy dd-wrt. | ||
- | |||
- | * '''Also as a side note, if you intend on using DHCP, you will want to unset your static ip'''. | ||
- | |||
- | * If you want to run a different build flavor you are not limited to only running mini, this unit can run micro, mini, nokaid, and std flavors of dd-wrt. '''Do not use anything bigger than those or risk bricking your unit'''. | ||
- | |||
- | * Newer builds can be found in the dd-wrt file server. I use broadcom specific eko builds on my v3 which can be found in his build branch of the ftp. Currently I use 15230 mini-hotspot-kaid which seems to work well. Remember, newer is not always better and you should always reference the forum for build posts. | ||
