I have a Linksys E3000 that I would like to put to good use. If it's on stock firmware, do I need to follow the directions exactly in the wiki and flash older builds working up to recent builds or can I go directly to the most recent build as long as it has -e3000 in the name?
For example, from stock firmware can I upload dd-wrt.v24-43845_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega-e3000.bin through the gui as the first trail build flash?
Thanks for responding egc. I followed the "K3.x upgrade" section of the wiki. It worked perfectly and now have the E3000 up and running as a client bridge.
1.Start with a hard reset, then load from the GUI (Admin->Firmware Upgrade):
2. K2.6_21676_mini_e3000, wait 5 minutes, hard reset, then load from the GUI:
3. K2.6_21676_mega_nv60K, wait 5 minutes, hard reset, then load from the GUI:
4. K3.x_21676_mega_nv60K, wait 5 minutes, hard reset
5. Now any newer K3.x_mega build can be flashed from the GUI (use the trailed build for recent builds)

The K3.x (now K4.x) trailed builds were meant to be flashed from stock, but whether or not that would be an issue I have not tested yet. I have a bricked E4200 v1 coming from Canada in the next week or so that I may test this on. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
