Thanks for this. You can't flash over wifi or it will fail. You have to hook it up with an ethernet cable.

I am so glad that someone released a new firmware for this device. It seems to be a decent device but the stock firmware was the worst that I have seen. I'm going to flash it tonight after work.

I got it now. I think when I was trying before I didn't shut off the wireless on my laptop. I'm guessing that was the issue.
Thanks to those who put this together. I'm hoping it makes the router more stable. I really don't want to spend the money on a new one.

I've been using this for several months on the new firmware and it has been rock solid. I set it up to reset once a day at 4 in the morning. I have only needed to do one manual reset since. It's bad**s

I have been trying this bin for a few weaks and it is very solid. A big improvement form the vizio firmware.
I notice it does not support USB HDD. Is there any way I can get that to work? Any help will be appreciated.

It does support USB HDD. You most likely need to use a powered usb hub with your drive.

Does anyone have a backup handy for this router? I managed to delete my bootloader, and can't seem to find mine.
I am already connected to the flash memory over SPI, and am able to read/write to it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
To clarify, I have the .bin of the firmware, but without a full backup, I cannot restore parts of the flash that dd-wrt never writes to.

I dump it from my router:

Thanks for taking the time to update the firmware on this otherwise orphaned router.
the router itself is solid but the stock firmware was abandoned ages ago.
thanks agin

Being an extreme novice to networking I was able to flash the modem with success, but struggling to find how to put a password on it. Can someone help me locate that? Thanks

Love the updated openwrt firmware!!! It gave a new life to this router. I was getting tired of the stock firmware and having to reboot often.
The upgrade was so easy with the compiled openwrt firmware, it is great.
One question: Can someone provide a version of the firmware with openVPN/PPTP/LT2P already installed?
You cannot install the modules from the Luci interface. It looks they have to compiled specifically for that router.
Thank you!!
