Flashing

Flashing DD-WRT

Download this WRT600N mega version, which contains the special header information required by the stock Linksys firmware. Then, reset your unit to factory defaults and flash it via the stock web interface. Reset your router to factory defaults after flashing. You can then flash what ever version of DD-WRT you want to the router. Please note that some people have experienced an issue with this DD-WRT mega build when trying to flash a new version of DD-WRT using the Firefox web browser; a connection timeout error occurs. Using Internet Explorer seems to resolve the issue and allow flashing of a different version of DD-WRT.

Reverting to Stock Firmware

Simply reset and flash the stock image via TFTP or through the web interface. Make sure to reset after flashing.

Known Bugs

Some LEDs Don't Work

The power, security, and USB LEDs still need to be fixed. Bear in mind that top men are working on resolving this. Currently, the Power LED constantly flashes, the USB LED doesn't work, and the Security LEDs either don't turn on at all or turn on randomly.

Strange Startup Procedure

When power is applied to the unit, it starts booting up. Then the LEDs blank out and come back on with the Power LED flashing. Be assured that this is completely normal behavior that may or may not be corrected in a future release and does not impact the functionality of the device.

Web Interface Crashes

The web interface sometimes crashes when trying to save port forwarding settings. Rebooting the device fixes the issue.
