It got bricked because you forgot to read the forum guidelines Sad

To get the best out of DDWRT and the forum read the forum guidelines full of helpful pointers:

There is a sticky at the top of this forum for recommendations; For WR*54* Linksys, it seems that at present, r46640 is a good build. Since nobody is flashing and reporting in the build threads, we have no idea what builds are good and which ones are bricking devices, etc. So again, another request and urge for folks to start reporting in build release threads to help serve the community at large. We shouldn't have to add another rule or guideline for this.

Going to link this thread in r44715 Broadcom thread. Please consider upgrading to the following build and reporting in the proper thread:

https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2021/05-13-2021-r46640/broadcom/

https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2021/

Keep in mind that you must use a firmware image with WRH54G in the filename, per the wiki and that firmware images for this device are in the broadcom folder on the download servers:

https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRH54G

Also keep an eye on new build release threads; flash and report in them to let us know if you brick or if the build works.

Got it! For now, I'm going to try to configure my router into a repeater with the current firmware. Once I get that working, I'll try to upgrade the build and give feedback in the respective thread.
