Hi
Currently trying to track down a WRT300N to replace my slow as hell WRT54G. A couple of questions.
1) I will be running the WRT300N in wireless bridge mode, however most of my stuff is still G only. Could I have the host router (WAG325N) and client router (WRT300N) linked together using wireless N, but still have wireless G enabled on the host (WAG325N) for other devices to connect to? In other words, I'm wondering if I can have the host running in mixed, but the WRT300N as N only in wireless brige. I don't see any reason why not, but just want to check.
2) I have found a couple of places to get hold of one, but the problem is finding the right version. Am I right in thinking the 1.0 and 1.1 have a blue case, and the 2.0 has a silver case? If this is so, is the box art different too, so you can tell what version they are just by looking at the box?

I have been browsing and browsing...I have a WRT300N v1.1 I see the post two or three up pointing to the files from April 09 but there are some from June 09. Are these any better??? Do I just flash the mini and then throw Mega on? I am looking to do both my 300 and my 610 even though I know my 610 is still a WIP Any help is appreciated...

I am wondering if v1.1 has a different UPC than those of older and newer versions? Can some current owners of v1.1 please post their router's UPC? _________________ 2x WRT54G v2
1x F5D7230 v1444
1x WHR-HP-G54
1x WHR-G300N v1
1x WRT300N v1.1
1x RT-N16
1x WNR3500L
The model on the box states: wrt300n-rm. The rm means re-manufactured. The upc is 45883 58494 but because this is an rm, you may not find the upc in a retail store.
1st four in the serial number is CNP1
It is a v1.1. V1's are scarce and the V2's are for Europe.
For fourty bucks, it's a nice router. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]

Thanks for the info. There seems to be ample of sources for re-manufactured WRT300N's, but most do not specify which version is being offered.

How is its transmission/reception performance for G and N modes? _________________ 2x WRT54G v2

Back in early June I decided to put the DD-WRT SP2 Mega build on my WRT600N. It worked so well I decided to get a WRT300N to use as a client bridge in 802.11N mode. I got a 300N v1.1 from ebay and I went through the 30/30/30, flash Mini over Linksys, 30/30/30, flash mega over mini, 30/30/30 log in and configure. It's working fine but the Wireless Security Light isn't on. I'm using WPA2 Personal with AES encryption. I normally wouldn't really care about the cute light, but the WRT600N has the same wireless encryption lights and they're both working. Any ideas if I did something wrong or if this is just not working in this build? I'm using this: "DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/21/09) mega".

Honestly I never noticed it untill you said something... _________________ WRT-350N v1.0; 128MB RAM, WPC600N, Dual USB, Mini+USB+FTP NEWD, CPU@330Mhz, Terk WF-R x3, Serial, external jtag, and working on SD Mod. Running Samba3, Lighttpd, and some Python apps.

Get rid of SP1 on the g units. Who knows what problems they are causing.
On the N routers, try 12548. Like I say, I have been very impressed with the speed of that build on my 300n. If it doesn't work for you, look at your drivers etc. _________________ SIG:

Can you link me to that build?
Also, I'm having a problem where everything seems fine but when peak download (2MB/s) the router drops internet and the Internet light goes off. After a few seconds it comes back. Should I reflash? How do I start fresh? Thanks a lot.
You'd better do a gpio test and include in the ticket which gpio the sec led is wired to. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
