Re: DD-WRT software help.

With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds

how is that confusing?

Thanks goontron; i was able to get the DD -WRT going by doing the Hard reset 30x30x30 and changed password to name: admin and Password:root and changed to wireless setting and now it works on wireless but it doesn't work on wan cable,so i can't set it to a secure Wep,also when i changed to the wireless, my user name pop up asking password 11 ca-raters long which i don't know.pics attachment ,

I would appreciate if you can help me on how to config the secure Wep

Re: DD-WRT software help.

I ran this router with Tomato USB for years until recently. I've had mixed results with DD-WRT. On some routers, it works fine, on others, they just can't get it right.

Re: DD-WRT software help.

DD-WRT forums has all the info you need to set it up and the best place to look for help.

Under Setup, Networking, check that WAN port is assigned to eth1, and that eth0 and eth2 are set to default.

Re: DD-WRT software help.

Do yourself a favour and use Tomato. Here is the latest Shibby build for your router:

Re: DD-WRT software help.

You might be able to flash Tomato straight from DD-WRT.

When I installed Tomato from factory many, many years back, I used TFTP. Most versions of Windows come with a built in command-line tftp client.

Thanks; i downloaded TFTP client and i typed per instructions:

Typed in DOS window. tftp -i 192.168.11.1 put tomato.trx

now it ask me to specify where to transfer the file.

what i put in C:\


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set your computer's ethernet card settings to: IP=192.168.11.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gateway=192.168.11.1 (Gateway and DNS settings are optional and not needed to flash Tomato). In Windows, you can set this by going to Control Panel, Network Connections, right-click your ethernet card, click properties, then TCP/IP.
Plug in your router and quickly enter this in a DOS window. "tftp -i 192.168.11.1 put tomato.trx" It will return Timeout if it failed or Transferred if it was successful.

Re: DD-WRT software help.

You can also just do it in DD-WRT; go to Amninistation tab, Upgrade Firmware, select browse for the file and click Upgrade.

You forgot the hyphen ("-") before the i. Should be tftp -i not tftp i.

Also, pay attention to the instructions. There is only a small window of time when the router is starting up when it will accept the new firmware. It's a little tricky. If you can have someone helping you, it would be ideal. One person plugs in the router, and one person has the command all ready and typed out, and presses enter immediately after the router is plugged in.

Also, use this link, this is the newest version of Tomato for your router. I just flashed it to my WHR-HP-G54 as I show in the picture, and it works perfectly:

Re: DD-WRT software help.

Set it to reset after flashing, click flash...

Re: DD-WRT software help.

So at the moment you have a Sony laptop connected on wireless, but if you plug in a pc/laptop using an ethernet cable then it's not connecting ?

Your WAN cable is the one going from this Buffalo to your gateway.

The many asterisks is a security feature, it's the same length however long your password is.

The security tab is where you will find the security settings.

LOL, seems whilst i've been typing this and getting distracted you've changed the firmware.

Re: DD-WRT software help.

TFTP in Windows:

Destination : Specifies where to transfer the file. If Destination is omitted, it is assumed to have the same name as Source.

Destination in this case is a filename, not a drive letter. Omit it.

In DD-WRT choose reset defaults, if it doesn't automatically reboot the router then yes you need to manually restart it. Probably a 30 sec power cycle will suffice, if not then a 30/30/30 reset.

Re: DD-WRT software help.

Set it to reset after flashing, click flash...

thanks mockingbird; it does't offer reset after flash!

it offer; Do Not Reset

or Reset to Default Settings
