As the filename may indicate, it can be only used for flashing via webinterface. Just use the corresponding factory-to-ddwrt-file. As you may notice, it is 28 Bytes smaller.


NOPE... Sad router says: Bad trx header

V1 must not be very forgiving. You may want to PM Alozaros, he has some V2s and is running 41813 on them. Only thing I can suggest is trying to flash via TFTP recovery method.

Maybe this build is broken. Why don't you try an older one that is known to work?

I wonder if this could mean that even newer builds work fine but updating from an older version of DD-WRT to a newer version via web gui is out of the question.


Just a newer data point along those lines: I successfully updated a WR1043ND v1.1 unit from the factory firmware to DD-WRT v3.0-r41786 std (12/23/19). Hope this helps any other lurkers with old hardware.

wifi can use ?
