General
This site describes HowTo do a initial flash or a tftp recovery flash for your device.
-make sure u have a tftp client installed (linux package, windows e.g. from sf.net])
-connect your router via a switch or hub to your pc
-make sure that you have a fixed ip address in the same network like router
-get the latest dd-wrt release here (plz use the mini version for devices with 4mb flash & the micro version for 2mb flash devices)
Windows
-ping the router permanently and see if it is responding
ping 192.168.x.x -t
-reboot the router via web-if or powercycle (the ping response will stop)
-if you see the the first ping response again you will have to start the tftp upload in binary mode immediately. maybe the upload doesnt work the first time than you have to try the frist steps a few times. you have to be very fast! ;-)
-when the upload is successful wait a few minutes (be patient! dont reset the router! keep waiting!) and the router will be responding under 192.168.1.1 with dd-wrt (maybe you will have to change your ip address first to be in the 192.168.1.x network ;-) )! username: root / pw: admin
Linux
for linux users it is equal like in this guide: Flash_Your_Siemens_SE505
maybe you will have to change the ip addresses to your needs!
