Here is a photo of the label. I don't see v2 anywhere and I understood the Linksys website to say if it doesn't say v2 then it's a v1.
Yes, everything went smoothly, except for a typo on my part the first attempt to type the wget command! Fat fingers. But, yes. It all went smoothly, no errors on the wget, write, set boot_part and reboot commands.
So, I will try again with the new ftp link.
Again, thanks a million for your patience and help for this old man.
No, the error I got with the earlier attempt was that it never rebooted. It downloaded, wrote and gave a success message and responded to the reboot command, it just never came back.
I can browse the interned with not problems. I also clicked on the link you provided and the file downloaded onto my pc so there is no connection problem. Do you think it would be worth a try to use this downloaded file through the DDWRT menu?
I feel bad taking up so much of your time with this. You don't know how much I appreciate it.
I'm going to take a break until tomorrow and sleep on it. I'll look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.
I tend to agree with you that it is an internal issue with dd-wrt build. Here's why:
This morning, I first made sure nothing was running on my pc that I have the router connected to. I Tried again to ftp the file by copying the link from your post. Same error. I then closed putty and opened my browser and pasted the same ftp link into my browser and it immediately downloaded the file. This would tend to confirm your suspicions and confirm that the router is connected to the internet.
I have a bit going on today so I will try this around noon central time and let you know.
Again and again, thank you so much for your patience, time and trouble!!
