Your firmware version may be slightly different from this if on a different router or you are using a different firmware version.ġ. i myself just used 192.168.1.98 (DHCP starts from 192.168.1.100) which is what i have for my main IP address of my main pc.īut as usual.The router used for this guide was the Dlink DIR615 - running firmware version: DD-WRT v24-sp2. plus from what they say it's a good idea to use a static ip (non DHCP) ip address when doing the flash. cause even though it might work there's just more risk using wireless vs the hard wired connection. but everything else they listed seems good on that 'how to install' page.Īlso DO NOT use wireless when updating firmware as it's not reliable from what people say. lol (even if it does it's a RC5 which aint the final stable one). cause the one they list in the 'how to install' link above im pretty sure wont work on your router. (that firmware should be the one you want for your v7 router). did you follow these instructions? (im just curious) , it appears that there is two different flash chips. im not 100percent sure on that but im fairly sure. v23 SP2 final is NOT compatible at all with a v7 router cause i think that added support in the v24 RC stages ). Luckily I had a 1 year warranty with best buy so I got a new router and a new 1 year warranty for free. I followed the instructions exactly as they were laid out using the micro version, and my router got bricked. I believe it was v23 or something, and the wiki said my WRT54GS v7 was compatible with the micro version. and remember to hard-reset the router before attempting anything as it will help minimize the chances of anything going wrong. but in general, if you follow instructions correctly and the power dont go out while flashing etc odds are everything will go smoothly. WARNING: just to let you know there is a chance you can brick your router (i.e completely kill it) if something goes wrong.
default username = root, default password = admin. 2MB is BARE MINIMUM needed to use DD-WRT at all.Īlso. more features ) ) vs the micro which is all i can use myself cause of the 2MB flash limitation. you should have 4MB flash memory which means you can use the standard build (i.e. according to that, yes you can if your hardware revision is v1.0,1.1.
Can is use this firmware also? If so, what files do I need, and how to install it? Please feel free to advise, thanks :) so do this at your own risk! Edited by ThaCrip WARNING: there is a chance you can brick your router (i.e completely kill it) if something goes wrong. i was using RC7 a couple of weeks ago and that was pretty good to. Hard-Reset = hold reset button for 30seconds. this should guarantee everything goes a smooth as possible AND that the firmware is running properly.
NOTE: when updating from previous versions etc it's strongly recommended to HARD-RESET router then update firmware and after router is backup and running do another HARD-RESET and then adjust your routers settings accordingly and all should be fine. I have a 'Linksys WRT54GS v6' router myself so i cant use nothing besides the 'micro' edition since my router has only 2MB flash memory. I just installed it myself and so far so good ) Just thought i would make a post saying that the final version of DD-WRT v24 final stable is out as i just noticed it on there official site here.
