Awesome! so that means that we can revert back to the old linksys firmware - and it would likely be more stable. lol - without incident!

it will connect to the internet as in dial the pppoe connection, will get a wan ip, but will not link the internet to the lan or the wlan. basically it has internet but nobody has internet...

In other words, a bridge problem.
Why don't you reconfigure the bridge instead of reverting to Linksys software?

Not so sure how one would go about doing that really.

You could start with posting screenshots of your
Setup/VLANs and Setup/Networking pages.

You stated something about pin 36. I have a wrt54g ver. 6 and the ram chip on there has pin 36 as A12. I have a 16 meg chip that I want to upgrade to from 8 megs but the 16 meg chip that I have has NC for pin 36. Is this fine or do I need to search for another ic ram chip? Both original, and replacement chips are Hynix. Both are pc133, TSOP II 54 pin, 16bit, 3.3v.

it is perfectly fine that your chips both have NC.

NC basically means not used. my 32 MB chip used that pin as A12, which the router also took after i ran a command for it to recognize the full 32 mb.

Go ahead and upgrade the ram!

Sorry for not being clear. My original 8 meg does have pin 36 as A12. The one i'm planning to put in does not have A12 for pin 36 which is NC. Will this be an issue for me?

in either case, mine supported both chips that i had, one had it as NC and the other had it as A12, so it should work either ways as long as teh rest is identical.

You stated you had a V6, i am not an expert on V6, but my guide was created after i followed a guide for earlier models anyways (trial and error, but there was no error, it worked Very Happy).

I have 3. Version 5, 6, and 8 at my dads house. I want to start with my version 6 that currently is not used and work my way up to the other ones if all goes well, which i think it should.

thats always a good philosophy. Use an unused testbed before trying it on working stuff!

i actually flashed DD-wrt to mine before swapping the ram because i had no clue how linksys's firmware would handle having 4x the ram in one shot, so i cant say what would happen if you don't flash to dd-wrt first.

Been running dd-wrt for a couple of years now. Started with the version 8 and 6 then acquired version 5 some time later. I'm running micro on ver 8 and micro-plus on ver 5 & 6.

Just picked my self up an Aoyue 908 Rework Station. Been wanting a rework station for awhile now. Excited to get it in and start playing around and swapping out my ram.
