I woke up this morning with the same problem. All lights are on and no internet access via wireless or direct (cable) connection to the WRT54G router.
WRT54G is my router. It's worked fine ever since I got it (except for the weekly crash it loves to do where all internet goes out for some period of.
Installation - DD- WRT Wiki. From DD- WRT Wiki. Installing DD- WRT on a router in most cases is almost as simple as installing a program onto your computer. However, doing it incorrectly can leave you with a router that you have to throw away. Installing programs on a router, known as firmware, are achieved by a method called flashing. This article helps you determine which installation process is for you on your supported router, as well as giving router suggestions and information about flashing each one.
Choosing the Correct Firmware - Extremely Important[edit]Is Your Router Supported? Please check the router database first: http: //www. If your router is not listed there, check the wiki page. For a list of devices working with DD- WRT, please see wiki page Supported Devices. For a list of devices not working with DD- WRT please see wiki page Known incompatible devices. If your device is supported, you may find specific information in the Hardware- specific page for your router.
However, to avoid Bricking your router, please finish reading this entire page first. You will then want to follow what is written for your particular device.
Which router should I buy? For a list of recommended devices for installing h DD- WRT, please see Firmware FAQ#Which router should I buy?[edit]Before You Download, Upgrade, or Flash. Before you try to take any actions, including loading any firmware to your router..
English Broadcom Forum Announcement entitled Peacock Thread It contains more information than just for those who are having problems. Unfortunately, skipping this step leads many to brick (break) their routers. Start there.. do some research.. Don't just load V2.
What browser / OS are you using to upgrade the firmware? I've found safari on my Mac to be problematic when flashing firmwares on WRT54G's Works fine with Firefox on. How To Flash the WRT54G v8.0 and v8.2 Using v24 (including sp2) NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only thing that should be hooked to the device is. To do: Need to reorganize as (1) General installation, (2) Device specific addenda, (3) Configuration adjuncts and recipes (adding features), (4) Config & operational. O Linksys WRT54G é um dos mais famosos roteadores sem fio da Linksys. Ao seu redor, desenvolveu-se toda uma comunidade de desenvolvedores de firmwares alternativos. Installing Tomato. First thing you’ll want to do is set up your router on your network. By default, most routers will have an internal IP address of 192.168.1.1.
Final or SP1. (Read the English Broadcom Forum Announcements referenced above to find out why). The user- friendly dd- wrt download page will help you identify the correct "killer" and dd- wrt firmware versions (as applicable) for your device as needed. However, you must use the peacock thread and use the information in the Hardware- specific page to accurately identify your hardware and not create a problem that renders your router useless.
I've been having trouble with dd-wrt on my Linksys WRT56G2 v1 router and want to go back to the stock Linksys firmware for it. The router has only 2MB of flash memory.
After you have read THIS page, and gotten some background on the peacock page, the Hardware- specific page may be the most useful page for you in terms of identifying your router, figuring out what files you need to download (including instructions), and figuring out the correct installation procedures. Identifying Your DD- WRT Firmware Use the brand- specific information in the Hardware- specific page to accurately identify which model you have. Start with the main brand heading (ie, "Linksys"). Use that information - instead of just going by what model you think you have - clock. As the peacock thread mentions, using the incorrect file is one of the worst things you can do. Fortunately, dd- wrt has simplified this immensely with their search format. Once you have identified your router accurately, you may be able to go straight to DD- WRT Downloads page and find the files you need.
Again, check the Hardware- specific page for links to detailed instructions that may indicate how many files you need, etc (- clock). Some newer routers are not supported by the latest stable release. Check the Supported Devices list for the minimum required DD- WRT version for your device.
You may need to use an SVN or experimental build. For a comparison of the builds, see File Versions. Updating through the Web GUI (ie, the routers's online interface) means you need to use the _generic version. Use the _mini version when upgrading from original Linksys firmware.
You need the _micro version if your hardware has 2 MB of flash (WRT5. G v. 5 through v. Use the "_mini" firmware if your hardware has 4 MB or more of flash (WRT5. GL for instance). The maximum filesizes in Bytes are listed here under Maximum firmware size. Again, use the download page's search function for help here - clock).
Read the Changelog, the timeline and all other information files on the download pages. They contain important information! Downloading Your DD- WRT Firmware You will need to save a number of files (firmware, instruction pages for offline work, etc). Starting a folder for this project before downloading anything is advisable - clock.
Ensure you are using the correct version of the firmware (again, the search function on the download page above should be accurate if took appropriate action to correctly identify your router; only download firmware from that page - clock). Download known to flash well builds from the Router- Database - some Firmwares are only available on other- downloads Depending on your specific needs, you may need more than one download - such as a "killer" version, which must be installed prior to the dd- wrt firmware. The search function should bring up both. If instructions are provided for your router in the Hardware- specific page, check that to see what is needed. Again, the peacock thread will give you important information on why choosing the wrong size can completely break your router - clock). If you downloaded a .
If it is a . bin file, leave it alone - clock). Precautions. If you do not already have a dd- wrt firmware version on your router, you may have to run a "kill" firmware program on your router first. You should be able to find this using the search function (dd- wrt download page [[1]]) for your specific device.
The process of installing that firmware is probably covered in the Hardware- specific page under your device. It will be similar to simply repeating the overall processes outlined below for that specific "kill" file - clock. The most important aspect of this section to absorb is the precautions. People kill routers constantly by not following these advisories. Please take the time to learn and absorb them - clock.
Follow all the instructions precisely, or you may run into trouble. Incorrectly flashing can brick your router![edit]Do Prior Researchclock. Failing to prepare and do your background research can cause considerable frustration, loss of time, and render your router absolutely useless (bricked). In other words, you may have to literally throw it away. With an hour or so of research, you'll save hours of time in frustration. Before you begin, it is recommended that you look through this wiki (particularly these precautions).
Also, the notorious peacock thread [2], and basic techniques such as Hard_reset_or_3. Tftp [3]. See Settings for more useful information. These may have some sections in some pages that are not relevant, which you can skim. You will need to review many of the recommended sites to download below.
You'll want to save this page (see below), but you will want to get the background first. Be careful about implementation (actually flashing) on this wiki as compared to what is recommended as a guide for your router under Hardware- specific. However, reviewing this wiki will be important for overall understanding.
General. Do not try to skimp on the Hard_reset_or_3. The peacock thread goes into extensive justifications. Be sure to follow all power cycling and reset instructions as described.
For the initial flash from the Linksys firmware, do not use Firefox; use IE to flash the router (even OS X IE works). Once DD- WRT is running, you can use any browser you like to administer or even flash the router. Do NOT flash your firmware over an SSL (HTTPS) connection. Make sure you are using HTTP.
Prepare to Go Offline. You will not have internet access through the router during the process of replacing the firmware. You are going to do almost everything offline with a LAN connection to your router (how to Disable your wireless). Given the many types of problems you can encounter that can prohibit you from getting help, the process of reactivating and deactivating your security settings if you actually can get back online, and the likelihood for browser crashes if you try to just keep the pages up, you will need to download everything you need before you start. This will allow you to review the information offline in the event that something goes wrong.
Some users, such as those running Windows Vista, may need to Disable Compound TCP - clock). Do not forget to make note of your current settings, especially if you have static IP addresses. A quick way of doing this is to take screenshots of your current configuration screens (which can be found on your web GUI, or online router interface - clock). It can be essential to record your current WAN MAC address. Some ISPs do not allow an immediate change of the routing hardware and changing the firmware changes the MAC address. You may also find these on your web GUI - clock). Have a secondary router or internet connection available while experimenting with your router's firmware, to expedite any trouble shooting and remove the risk of becoming stranded.
If you have a cable modem which connects to your router with ethernet, you can plug your PC straight into the modem should you have any problems. Your PC will be assigned your external IP with DHCP, and you will be on the net. Remember to use a software firewall. We recommend you save the following series of pages to your hard drive (use File- > Save As, *NOT* a bookmark). Make sure to save all webpages as HTML. Do not save as compressed html files (some computers default to that.) Here are the websites to save: (- clock). The installation page for your specific router as found though the Hardware- specific page.

Boost Networking Performance by Installing Tomato on Your Router. Your newly purchased router has a ton of potential, but unfortunately the manufacturer usually downplays the capabilities by only enabling limited features. Here’s how to unleash some of those features with an open source firmware. The firmware we’ll be using today is called Tomato, and it’s an alternative to the DD- WRT firmware we’ve already covered in a previous article. What is Tomato? It’s a delicious fruit you eat that can help prevent cancer due to its high levels of Lycopene. Some people enjoy tomatoes on hamburgers and in salads. Oh! You wanted to know about Tomato as in the powerful, user friendly, full- of- features, alternative router firmware?
Well, why didn’t you say so? The original firmware that comes installed on your router does the basics, but Tomato offers a wider range of features including our favorite, bandwidth monitoring. You don’t have to take advantage of all of Tomato’s features to enjoy it; we would even recommend it to novice users because it’s so easy to use.
Prerequisites. 1. This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of networking and using a Windows- based computer. We will be using a Linksys WRT5. GL router, so if you’re using a different model be sure to check below to see if it’s compatible with Tomato. Another detail, although minor, is we’ll be using Windows 7 throughout the guide. If you’re running Linux or Mac OS X, you might notice slight differences but not enough to interfere with the end result. Tomato only works with certain routers.
Make sure you’re installing Tomato on one of the models listed below otherwise you may end up with a new chew toy for your dog (please note: we do not advise giving your dog a router as a chew toy). Other routers may work with Tomato also, but the following have been tested and are known to work: · ASUS WL- 5. G Premium· ASUS WL5. GU· ASUS WL5. 00.
GE· Buffalo WHR- HP- G5. Buffalo WHR- G5. 4S· Buffalo WZR- G5. Buffalo WBR2- G5.
Buffalo WHR- G1. 25· Buffalo WZR- HP- G5. Buffalo WVR- G5. 4- NF· Buffalo WHR3- AG5. Buffalo WZR- RS- G5. Buffalo WZR- RS- G5.
HP· Buffalo WHR2- A5. G5. 4· Linksys WRT5. G v. 1- 4· Linksys WRT5. GL v. 1. x· Linksys WRT5. GS v. 1- v. 4· Linksys WRTSL5.
GS· Microsoft MN- 7. Motorola WR8. 50. G/GP· Sparklan WX6. GT· Fuji RT3. 90. WInstalling Tomato. First thing you’ll want to do is set up your router on your network. By default, most routers will have an internal IP address of 1.
Open up your browser and enter in your router’s IP address. You’ll be prompted for a username and password. The defaults for a Linksys WRT5. GL are “admin” and “admin”.
Keep this window up because we’ll be coming back to it shortly. Head over to Polarcloud’s homepage to download the latest version of Tomato. You’ll want to look for the file called Tomato_1_2. Despite being released almost a year ago, Version 1. Dnsmasq, a lightweight DNS forwarder and DHCP server. Now extract the files in your Tomato_1_2. Open up your browser session from earlier and click the Administration tab at the top.
Next, click Firmware Upgrade as seen below. Click the Browse button and navigate to the extracted Tomato files.
You’ll want to select your router’s appropriate Tomato firmware file. Since we’re installing Tomato on a Linksys WRT5. GL, we’ll choose the WRT5. G_WRT5. 4GL. bin file.
After you’ve selected the appropriate . Upgrade button in the web interface.
Your router will start installing Tomato, and should take less than a minute to complete. Your router will restart by itself, and your computer will attempt to capture an IP address from Tomato’s DHCP server once it’s back up. Fire up your browser again and behold! It’s your first sighting of Tomato. Okay! We’re almost done! Now the first thing you’ll want to do is secure your wireless connection.
You don’t want any potential thieves noticing your vulnerable wireless network, so let’s quickly put an end to that fear. Click Basic in the left column. Scroll down to the Wireless segment and change the Security drop down menu to WPA2 Personal. Feel free to choose a different encryption method that you prefer.
WPA2 Personal is what we use because it’s the most secure. Don’t forget to change your SSID to something creative like “Pretty Fly For A Wi. Fi” or “FBI Surveillance Van”. You might also want to configure the DHCP server IP address lease range and the Wi. Fi channel. To determine the best Wi. Fi channel to use, click the Scan button next to the Channel drop down menu.
You’ll see a list of your neighbors’ Wi. Fi networks and which channels they’re using. Choose a channel that is not being used by your neighbors to avoid channel frequency interference.
That pretty much wraps it up. It wasn’t that bad, huh?
You’ll begin to love Tomato for its clean user interface and robust features. Download Tomato from polarcloud. Update: You can download an updated version of Tomato from http: //tomatousb. Image by The Ewan.
