The CFE updater needs only to run once to get the router from stock to accept a dd-wrt build. After that, all upgrades / updates are done through the dd-wrt upgrade gui. There is no need to run the cfe updater (again) to flash a new(er) build.
I can suggest build 15962, or 19342. Both are rock solid on the TM (I still us my TM as my main router / gateway). 19342 is the last build that the SD Card mod worked and the build I have been running for 4+ years. |
barryware, thanks for the update information. That will make updating so much more simple. The DD-WRT router database doesn't show build 19342 under WRT54G-TM, only 13864 and 14896. Can you give me a pointer to the appropriate 19342 so I don't make a mistake? Again thanks, jon |
Here is the std_generic: http://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2012/06-08-12-r19342/broadcom/dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin
It took me 20 minutes to find, then figure out how to link the build. One of the reasons I am not very active the last year or two. Nothing should be this difficult. |
Thanks for all of the time and attention. I used the "mega" build rather than the "std" one, but everything went fine and the router is back up with build 19342! I hope this info helps someone else out in the future. Jon |
