-'''NOTE:''' These instructions only apply to the Linksys WRT54G v7.2, WRT54Gv8.0 and WRT54Gv8.2. They do not work for the WRT54Gv8.1. If you want to flash a WRT54Gv8.1, pls [http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29049 read this].+This page should no longer exist.

-#Configure your '''computer's''' local lan ethernet address to 192.168.1.100, subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1 . Then connect an Ethernet cable to your computer and port 1 of your router. '''(Do Not Use Wireless)'''+[[Linksys WRT54G v8.0 & v8.2]]
-#Unplug the power cord from the router.+
-#Perform a [[Hard_reset_or_30/30/30]] reset+
-#Open your browser to <nowiki>http://192.168.1.1</nowiki>. ('''Note:''' Some people, such as [[User:sth|sth]] had problems with Firefox (in June 2008), while others, such as [[User:dennisn|dennisn]] had no such problems with Firefox 3.0.3 in Dec 2008), with the next step (and later on when trying to save changes in dd-wrt's web gui). Sth had to [[Recover_from_a_Bad_Flash|Recover from a Bad Flash]].)+
-#Use the firmware upgrade dialog to flash [http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/others/tornado/Gv8/vxworkskillerGv8-v3.bin vxworkskillerGv8-v3.bin].+
-#<font color=red>'''WAIT'''</font> for at least two minutes before you continue! (longer is better) Give vxworks killer plenty of time to do its magic! After the 2 minutes is up, if you notice a dialog asking you to reboot the router, go ahead and power cycle the router by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in again.+
-#You will not be able to browse the WRT54 at this point, but you should be able to ping 192.168.1.1. If the router doesn't reply you haven't set your '''computer's''' network settings correctly (on step 1)+
-#Now it's time to flash the DD-WRT firmware using TFTP+
-#*For Windows, enter <code>tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put [http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/v24/Broadcom/Broadcom%20Generic/micro/dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin]</code> at your <code>cmd</code> shell (Vista users will need to install [[TFTP first]]) If you don't wish to use command line, follow the instructions for using the tftp.exe program at note 11 of the peacock thread announcement - http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486+

If you have [http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dholland/computers/netkit.html David A. Holland's] NetKit TFTP client -- which is probably the case on Debian or Ubuntu -- then the above instructions won't work.

-After about a minute, you can browse dd-wrt on your router at <nowiki>http://192.168.1.1</nowiki>.+

-If you had previously flashed your router with a beta/RC version of v24 and are currently experiencing issues with LAN port 4 and/or wireless, an upgrade to the [http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/others/tornado/CFE_Updater/CFE-Updater-Gv8-GSv7-v3.bin CFE-Updater] and v24 stable should fix it.+

-Be sure to use the webgui to update to a newer build such as 11296 once you have dd-wrt running. See the peacock thread announcement for further information. http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486+

-'''How To Return To Your Original Linksys Firmware V8'''+

-# Browse and select [http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/others/tornado/Gv8/vxworksrevert-Gv8-v3.bin vxworksrevert-Gv8-v3.bin]. It will install the revert firmware and give you a rebooting indicator on the screen. When it is done it will give you a Confirm button on the screen. Click on Confirm. Your power light will be flashing on your router.+
