Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2010 7:37 Post subject: Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 build confusion
Hello, after I consulted the router database to find out my recommended build, I have been reading the DD-WRT Wiki and related forum posts (relevant page here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=52043). The router database recommends build 13064, but the Broadcomm page says that is not recommended. It lists other bad builds, but does not appear to recommend a different "good" build for me.
Can anyone help me figure out in the maze of posts on this subject what build I should be flashing my WHR-HP-G54 with?

Thank you!

Mainly just use the wiki to get the initial flash done, then just use what build is recommended in the 'Firmware recommendations' link in my signature for you i believe it would be 13525 NEWD so...

Sorry, I never saw your message - I never ended up flashing the firmware.
I read the "Peacock" thread for Broadcomm, which instructed me to first go to the Wiki to find the "initial" firmware to use. But the installation Wiki directed me to the hardware-specific page, which then directed me to the WHR-HP-54G page, which directed me back to the Wiki.
So I can't find where to go to get the "initial" firmware to use before I flash with the build suggested above in this thread.
I realize that for veterans of this forum that it must seem plainly obvious where to go and what to get, but I have been incredibly confused trying to find this firmware (to "kill" the Buffalo firmware, prior to installing the recommended build).
Can anyone help me break out of this Peacock -> Install Wiki -> Hardware Specific -> WHR-HP-54G -> Install Wiki loop?

The firmware i posted link to should work just fine... Reference this for installation.
