FLASHING INTRUCTIONS:
The one critical step to a successful flash is to set the host computer to a static IP in the range matching the router- 192.168.11.x (x can be anything between 2 and 254).
Set the pc IP to 192.168.11.1, browse to your intended .bin (firmware) file and select it, leave the password blank and set the retries to 99 (20 is usually enough).
Make sure your ethernet cable is connected to the NIC on the computer, and a LAN port on the router.
Click "Upgrade" on the tftp utility, and casually put power to the router. The utility will attempt upgrades and fail.....that's fine. Watch the LAN icon in your task bar as it attempts to acquire an IP. Just as you see it connect and find an IP, the utility will begin to flash the upgrade to the router. After it's complete, sit and wait about 2 minutes (more or less, depending on variables) and the router will reboot itself. When it's finished booting, it's done.
Reset your host computer to its previous IP configuration. This has to be either DHCP or static in the range of 192.168.1.x., because now that the router has DD-WRT flashed, it's IP has changed from 192.168.11.1 to 192.168.1.1. Do a hard reset on the router and it's ready to configure.
This above method is easy and i've done it a few times on the same router, MY DDWRT is v2.3 sp2 and does not include the latest ddwrt which has a more features on it.
Hope that's helpful. |
Hi...
I did what you said, except that I used another tftp program that has a working link on the dd-wrt website. I am now able to access the dd wrt control panel on my buffalo whr-hp-g54 but I do not have an internet connection. I also flashed with the latest firmware, v2.4.
I am on cable and if i connect the modem directly to my laptop it works fine.
any idea what am doing wrong?
PROBLEM SOLVED
Simply had to reset my modem.
Did it last night but it didn't work coz the modem was conected directly to my laptop.
