Is it a supported router? I think the G2 is, but have not heard of the GS2 previously.

Hmmm...we see the model listed on the Linky web site...but I can't find the FCC info. I searched all 362 of them for a new WRT54GS2 model...none to be found.

The FCC number may be on the inside of the unit..usually (but not always), its on the sticker on the bottom along with the SN.

Perhaps non-US?

I knew this looked familiar. We haven't figure it out yet on this thread either.

http://www.dd-wrt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=298930


It could be a relabeled G2V1 and the new G2v1.3 is the new model.

When we look at the FW header for the GS2v1...we notice it has a different header than the original G2v1...so we are not advising that the current G2v1 procedure be tried on this router.

From looking at Linksys' support website for this product, methinks that this is simply the WRT54G2 "with Speed Booster".

In fact, it looks like it might have the same chipset as the G2: BCM5354 (see post above).

I tried to flash my WRT54GS2 today with DD-WRT, and the instructions for the WRT54G2 do not work. It did not brick the router, but the TFTP program simply gave an error message for the VXWorks-prep.bin file: "Wrong file." So, until the DD-WRT developers figure this one out, we'll have to stick with the stock firmware.

But, if you would like to use your new WRT54GS2 as a Wireless Access Point, you can actually trick the stock firmware into doing this. Here's how:

1) Disconnect the WRT54GS2 from the other router or modem (from which the internet connection originates), and connect it to your computer via one of the ethernet ports (NOT the WAN port).
2) Go to the Web Interface of the WRT54GS2 (default is 192.168.1.1).
3) Enter username and password (default is "admin" for both).
4) Under Setup -> Basic Setup, do the following:

    4A) Set "Internet Connection Type" to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP".
    4B) Set the "Local IP Address" to something in the same LAN as the other router or modem you wish to connect to. Make sure this IP address is outside of the other device's DHCP pool. For example, if your other router or modem has the IP 192.168.1.1 and its DHCP pool starts at 192.168.1.10, set the WRT54GS2's IP to 192.168.1.2.
    4C) Set the "Subnet Mask" to the same subnet as your other router or modem (default is 255.255.255.0).
    4D) Set "DHCP Server" to "Disable".

5) Click "Save Settings" and wait for the router to adjust itself into a comfortable position.
6) Now connect the WRT54GS2 to the other router or modem via ethernet. Make sure you connect the ethernet cable to one of the four LAN ports on the WRT54GS2, NOT the WAN port.
7) That's it! Now you're connecting "through" your WRT54GS2 to your other device, something Linksys would like to charge you over $100 to do otherwise! Now you can set up your wireless settings to your preferences. Enjoy!

I had attempted the same thing as above, invalid file is always the response. Hopefully DD-WRT can get a working vxworks killer :)

If you need any more information from the router, let me know. I do not have anything to directly access however(the cable you connect to the board).

looking thru the bin files, I found this on the official firmware of the wrt54gs2 at 2C40
"VxWorks 5.5 Jan 23, 2009, 16:41:15"
and on the wrtg54g2 at 1768F
"VxWorks 5.4.2 Mar 17, 2009 12:10:38"

I noticed the v1.3 of the WRT54G is running the same vxworks.
