please help. I start to make the change for DD-WRT, I reset the router, I used the tftp for VxWorksPrep. This was worked, but then when I tried to flash VxWorksPrep wasn´t work. Now on my router is flashing the power led and the pc led (which port is connected the pc). I can´t access 192.168.1.1 page ( I want the DD-WRT page with the router, or the original firmware. What can I do ?
LE: still working....power led is blinking, but I can open the page. This thing is happens only for 18 seconds. After that I get time out. So how I can install the firmware in only 18 sec ?

How can I do ? Can I revert to original firmware ? I'm to scared now to continuing to install DD-WRT
LLE: ok, i install the firmware, now the power led is on and with wireless I have no timeout, but I want to enter in router settings to install the upgrade and I can´t, because I get everytime wrong login. I tried with login "admin" and pass "admin" and the old settings but is not working. I tried everytime of resets but nothing. Is possible to reinstall the firmware via wireless without password or simply, to find the password ?

Thank you a lot guys!
In new build (11482_micro) works WAN DHCP (before that I could not get IP via DHCP from provider) and now don`t replace WAN IP adreess by PPP after reboot. _________________ Linksys WRT54G2v1 (v.1.00.4 build 05)
When will somebody PLEASE FINALLY solve the pptp wan ip address bug in this firmware already open for almost a year? See also http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=45767&highlight= and hundreds of other threads. With this bug the router is unusable for pptp users and it is not even possible to go back to the original firmware. I don't understand why this bug is totally ignored and it really makes me angry that i've lost my router to this so called "better" firmware!!!

the defaults are 'root' for the user, and 'admin' for the password. you should probably do a hard reset (30/30/30) and then log into the router, which will make you change the user name and password. _________________ wrt54g2 v1

first, thanks to eko (for the firmware) and redhawk and everyone else for helping.
i have been experiencing some wireless issues with my wrt54g2v1. i am running 11296 micro-plus right now. i have decent wireless speeds (18mpbs, hitting 20 sometimes). every so often though, the wireless rate will drop down to 2mpbs (on the wireless status page), and all wireless activity slows way down. usually it seems to return to 48 or 54mbps rate, but sometimes it will just stay stuck at 2mbps.
but, i am wondering if there is some "special" setting for our routers that will make the wireless connection more stable. i live in an apt building, so i can see about 6-8 other networks in range, and i have tried picking channels that no one else is on, but seem to still have the issue.
is pegging the wireless rate at 54mbps (wireless > advanced settings) really a solution, or will it still drop to 2 mpbs if there is interference, etc.?
thanks for any suggestions. _________________ wrt54g2 v1

I've seen similar things caused by interference (change your wireless channel first)
Also on the wireless>>Advanced tab
Disable CTS protection, Frameburst, Afterburner
Try changing the Preamble from Long to Auto (fixed some of my hotel issues)
[EDIT[ - Another thing that just came through a PM....lower your MTU setting. See if that helps. There has been a report that too high a setting caused wireless issues with connecting a MAC computer and signal strength of the router output also changed. I don't see how it is related to signal strength...but I am throwing it out there.
see if any of that helps.

thanks, in fact one of the laptops IS a powerbook g4. i have changed the MTU from auto to 1492 and will test it out some more. i did have the afterburner, frame burst, and cts disabled, and preamble on auto while i was experiencing the problems. (i am also set to g-only) _________________ wrt54g2 v1

FOR EVERYONE WHO WANNA TRY DD-WRT- PLEASE, DON'T DISTROY YOUR 5 STAR ROUTER FOR THIS STUPID FIRMWARE !!!!!

i think you are the one who is stupid here, making a fool out of yourself. need you ever ask ? -.-|| so many people used this firmware without any problem. even if they gt problem, they managed to resolve it. you are the one having problem and u nv even ask and u say the firmware is stupid ? I just feel that you are just damn stupid over here. No offence
Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 0:19 Post subject: flashing WRT54G2 Using Mac OSX
This might be a stupid question but i will ask it anyway before i brick my new WRT54G2. When flashing using Mac OS X, I can not use the tftp.exe utility for obvious reasons. However, the OS X terminal has an tftp client built in. This being said, do i just send the approriate dd-wrt WRT54G2 image to router using the tftp command? If any one has flashed a WRT54G2 using Mac OS X please help!
Thanks
So, upon following these instructions (I got as far as vxworksprep working via the web interface, which I saw a post saying it would "take" that way, in this forum, so stupidly I used that method) and after setting my IP address as Eko described, and using the methods he described, the linksys tftp client won't connect to 192.168.1.1 for vxworkskiller to work. What am I doing wrong, am I just an idiot? I know my router isn't "bricked" because i'm connected (though unsecured) using it right now. Can anyone else post how THEY did it?

I suppose I should say the VxWorksPrep did "take" and that's why my router is in the state that it's in.
