We tried this yesterday but it got a bit out of control (my fault) discussing cfe mods to add support for K26 builds on certain routers. Another thread can be started about cfe mods to add support. For instance, a GL will run K26 with a modified cfe. Please do not add that to this thread.

This thread, it to develop a list of natively supported routers with the new K26 builds. In the last couple of weeks, many more routers are supported and it is a bit confusing to know what is and is not supported.

No neutered routers (2mb flash) units are supported.

Please add to this thread any routers that either are or are not supported by the K26 builds.


Are Supported:


Asus RT-N12
Asus RT-N16

Buffalo WHR-HP-G125
Buffalo WHR-G54S (redhawk - After 13525 there are many reports of bricks - not recommended)
Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 (redhawk - After 13525 there are many reports of bricks - not recommended)

Linksys WRT54G-TM
Linksys WRT160N v1.1 / v3 (only)
Linksys WRT300N v1.1 (only)
Linksys WRT310N v1
Linksys WRT310N v2 (as of build 13594)
Linksys WRT320N v1
Linksys WRT610N v1 / v2
E1000 V1
E1000 V2
E1000 V2.1
E2000
E3000
E4200

Basically, all the newly supported routers

Netgear WNDR3300 (redhawk- 13575-however, I run G-only network, N not tested - since this build...it bricks....don't use K26 on this model after 13575)

Are NOT supported:

Any router with only 2mb flash

UPDATED Info regarding WL-500W

Buffalo WHR-G125
Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP

D-Link DIR-320

I am starting to see more clearly now why some routers doesn't work with K26 or doesn't work with NEWD-2.
The reason is the initial size of RAM for loading the Linux kernel.

Why is WRT160Nv1 listed as not working with K26, who has tested?
It must work, it has enough of initial RAM for both NEWD-2 and K26.

Pretty much everything is now supported...2.6 has been ported to all builds except micro.

This thread is about natively supported models which most G spec models and a few N spec models are not. Just because there's a build that fit on your flash does not mean that it will run. If you try it on a model not listed as working, you better have jtag/serial to recover.

WRT150N v1.1 = NOT SUPPORTED

At least not for me, I attempted to flash dd-wrt.v24-13575_NEWD-2_K2.6_std_nokaid_small.bin and now it's a brick.

Did the 30/30/30 and notta. I don't have a jtag or anything of that sort, but hey, I had a spare wrt54gs v1 laying around so all is not lost, I just ordered a wrt320n off ebay for 63 dollars so I'm looking forward to that. I only used the 150 as a bridge so now I'm bridged at 54m not 270m like I've been used to on the desktop.

I'm going to attempt to flash my wrt300n v1.1 to 2.6 now.

<edit>

Flashed my wrt300n v1.1 to 13575M NEWD-2 K2.6 Eko just fine. :)

Be very careful about posting statements like this. This one is just plain untrue.

Not all routers will run K26 builds. Even models that are the same but have different versions....look at the 160n for example.

redhawk, as I have to see, that the 520GU is stated as unsupported, can you please give me a hint why it is not supported?

Don't see the relations between the supported and not supported units yet.

I am unsure also. I tried to figure it out once but was unable to.

My current beliefs are the CFE is preventing the K26 to work...for example...the WRT54GL will not work with K26 as is...however, a WRT54G-TM will work. The TM's CFE has been modified for boardflags, memory size, etc and reflashed onto the GL unit...now the GL will work with the K26.

I thought the other day that because the 520GU will work with NEWD2 (BTW..the GL never did) that I could just give the NEWD2-K26 builds a try. I got NO wireless at all and it would not issue DHCP addresses automatically.

It required a serial connection and the Asus Recovery tool to fix it.

Installing dd-wrt.v24-13575_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini.bin on my WHR-G125 bricked it. I was able to recover with tftp. You can add it to the unsupported list.

Can you point me on a wiki article or something to recover the GU? I expect I have to use a levelshifter for serial, as on nearly every other device too?

You are right about the CFE preventing K26 or NEWD-2 to work and it is related to where in RAM the CFE is executing when loading the firmware.
There is just not a big enough unfragmented block of memory available for the bigger NEWD-2 and K26 builds in some CFE's, especially for the older routers but also for a few of the more recent.

Changing the CFE to one that is compatible with the router but gives a bigger load area for the firmware is one way of getting non-working routers to work with these builds but it is a risky operation to re-flash the CFE and one can easily end up with a completely bricked router where jtag (if available in the router) is the only way of recovery.
I understand that Eko is looking to find another solution than re-flashing CFE.

This memory problem accounts for the majority of the K26/NEWD-2 failure and can easily be seen with serial logging, nothing will happen after the line "Starting program at 0x80001000" .
I have checked most of Linksys CFE's now and can say for sure which routers wont support K26 or NEWD-2 and
also which ones that ought to work.

There may be other things than the fragmented memory preventing K26 to work, based on user reports but
it would be good if we could get a few routers confirmed from more than one user and done while logging serially so we can focus on where the problem is.
It is not for the faint hearted to test this, a working jtag is a must to have!!


Routers which have enough continuous memory are:
WRT150N v1.0 and v1.1
WRT160N v1.0
WL-500W, WL-500GP v1 and v2, WL-520GU.

Routers which wont work, do not bother to test:
WRT300N v1
WRT350N v1

I am looking for CFE's from WRT160N v1.1 and from both versions of WRT600N, please upload them in the CFE collection if you have any of them.


Edit:
I just recieved a WRT 160N v1.1 CFE, it is identical to a WRT160N v1.0 so both routers should work with K26 and NEWD-2.

I am unable to determine if my WRT600n is a v1.1 or a v1.0. It does work with the NEWD2 builds that Brainslayer issues out. There is not any readily identifying marks that say it is a v1.1. Therefore, I am "assuming" it is a v1.0 and can use the K26 builds.

What can I do for support of the GU? I have one unit here, NEWD-2 is running great on this device, but I didn't even tried a K26 build until I know of a safe way unbricking it.

Check the serial number. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_routers#WRT600N
