Linksys WRT54G v3.1
- VINTage firmware. Details here.
You should not have to use VINT builds on this unit. My WRT54G v3.1 has a wl0_corerev of 7 and uses NEWD builds with no problems. Below is a link in which you can reference to see if VINT is required for your unit.

In order to make somwhat use of Multiple WLANs, you must use a Vint Build, If however you do not use this feature, you can use a NEWD build on this unit just fine as stated above.

Updated Flashing Instructions
Always make sure your broswer cache is cleared before doing this procedure
1) Restore Factory defaults from linksys webgui, download this dd-wrt build WRT54G Trailed Build
2) Set a static IP on computer than you are flashing with, set it to 192.168.1.5
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 v3.1 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.
- Tested Vint 15508 nokaid on a wrt54g v3.1 and v3.0, works great. -buddee
Both NEWD and VINT can be found in the FTP link below
