Initial Flash

NOTE: During device flash, it is recommended to connect the router to the computer only, via ethernet, and to clear the internet browser cache. Alternatively, pressing Ctrl-F5 will force a cache-bypass refresh of the current page.

  1. Restore factory defaults in the Linksys firmware.
  2. Go to the tab Administration > Firmware Upgrade and select the downloaded trailed 14929 mini build
  3. Wait for five minutes
  4. Login to the DD-WRT GUI at 192.168.1.1
  5. Do a Factory Defaults (GUI) or hard reset
  6. Wait until you can again login at 192.168.1.1
  • If problems are encountered, upgrade to latest firmware for WRT54Gv3 and retry
