Flashing instruction

TFTP flash

The latest DD-WRT build has a new, easy, and safe way to flash a WHR-G300N router. To do this, just Tftp_flash the new image to 192.168.11.1 in the 1st three seconds of booting when the router is in recovery mode.

Web flash

From now on, there is a preflash image in the WHR-G300N folder that makes the serial access unnecessary for the initial flash to DD-WRT.

  • Flash DD-WRT-WHR-G300N-preflash.enc via web-if
  • The device will reboot
  • Then, flash the firmware.bin image via web-if to finish the flashing to DD-WRT.
  • After the automatic reboot, DD-WRT will be accessible at 192.168.1.1

Serial flash

It's also possible to flash this device with serial interface, this is handy also for troubleshooting.

  • Solder pins to the 4 pin serial header near the wifi part:

  • Prepare TFTP server (e.g. the one from the dl area).
  • Download the latest DD-WRT WHR-G300N build to the root folder of the tftp and rename it to firmware.bin
  • Set the IP address of your PC or the device which runs the tftp server to 192.168.11.2/24
  • Set your consolte programm to 57600,8,n,1
  • The boot timeout is 3 sec so you will have to be very fast with the following step.
  • Power-on then following message will be displayed at the console.
---------------------
Please choose the operation:
1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP.
2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.
3: Boot system code via Flash (default).
4: Entr boot command line interface.
9: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP.
---------------------
  • Select [4] and put in this command
run ut_fw

Then the firmware.bin will be loaded from the tftp server and automaticly flashed.

  • After the automatic reboot DD-WRT will be accessible at 192.168.1.1
