Hi, I have the Router WRT54G2 V1. I did the procedure above for the WRT54GS V7, to restore the linksys firmware, and it's work. But, here is a question: If I want get back to dd-wrt again, what procedure should I follow? The procedure for the WRT54G2 V1 or WRT54GS V7, since now my router have the firmware from GS V7?
I guess I have to follow like the first time, the procedure for the WRT54G2 V1, right?
Another question: Can I update to firmware from WRT54G2 V1 using the Web Gui from the firmware WRT54GS V7, once now this is what istalled on my router?
Ok, I will answer your questions:
a) You can update to the original WRT54G2 firmware from the WRT54GS v7 doing the following:
2.- With a hex editor (in my case, I used xvi32) open one window with the WRT54GS v7.0 firmware and one window with the WRT54G2 v1.0 firmware.
3.- At the beginning of the firmware, there are some characters and some hex info that I call it "firmware check id". It's everything BEFORE the "Linksys WRT54G bla bla bla" part. You must replicate in the WRT54G2 firmware what you see in that part on the WRT54GS v7.0 firmware.
4.- Once you made those changes (not much in my opinion) on the WRT54G2 v1.0 firmware, save the file.
5.- Go to the router's firmware webpage and click the "administration" link. Now click "Firmware update" and choose the WRT54G2 v1.0 firmware you just saved (the one you edited). Click "upgrade".
6.- That's it. After waiting for around 4 or 5 minutes, you have the original WRT54G2 firmware.
From then on, you can use all the updates for the wrt54g2 that linksys makes available.
Now, to answer your second question, if you want to go back to dd-wrt, you have to use the WRT54G2 v1.0 method with the WRT54G2 v1.0 firmware.
I made it easy for people that have no experience with a HEX editor. I compiled the file and is ready. You need to have your routers firmware at WRT54GS V.7 before using this file.

I seem to have successfully flashed my wrt54g2 with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/30/0 micro. I can browse to all pages, I just can't get it to apply or save anything. I get a blank page and I have to manually browse back to the IP. Won't save a router U/P under Admin. Done several of these with older Linksys; first time with this model. Thanks for your help.

Am I right in thinking I can only put 'micro' on to this? (V1) Will the Micro Plus SSH work with it?

You can also run the Micro_Plus and Micro_Plus_ssh builds on the 54G2v1 units...they have a 128K CFE already.

I have a problem with my WRT54G2 V1 using svn13491-snow/NEWD/. My internet connection keeps slowing when streaming video from youtube and netflix, but when using video it uses full speed. I've tried adjusting the TCP UDP and Maximum Ports.
Here is an image of the bandwidth issue I'm having, this is streaming Netflix. http://yfrog.com/58ddwrtp
Having the same problems. Didn't see an answer to his question so I'm asking it again.
