YOU FORGOT SOMETHING: IF YOU ARE USING WINDOWS 7 YOU FIRST HAVE TO GO TO THE CONTROL PANEL, THEN TYPE PROGRAMS AND FEATURES INTO THE SEARCH BAR, AND TURN ON THE TFTP UTILITY.
Damn wont work, I can ping it and everything. When i turn my WRT54G2 on i can get the lan and internet light to come on like it normal would. But just the power light isn't coming on. Please someone!! help here!!
Hey, I have the same router(WRT54G2 v). I'm running off a Linux base OS, I'm pretty sure you could do the exact same thing to get it working on a Linux OS. But my question is when your router got bricked and you tried reconnecting the power cord, did all the led lights stay on or blinked at all?? Because when I plug in my power cord, the router seems to stay on for a couple of seconds(approximately 3sec.) Then all led light turn off??
I 've got a doubt since this isn't working for me. How do you know when your device is bricked? Mine seems to be working just fine(you can even connect via wireless) but i can't access it through my browser(the connection gets rejected). When I try to use tftp following your instructions i just get three errors and that's it! Any ideas?
thanks!!! I couldn't retro to Linksys software, but I was able to go forward to DD-WRT software. I think DD-WRT staff did a poor job in explanation or purposely withheld valuable info about trouble shoot using your Protocol Internet version 4 to ping the router.
i have the same problem with my linksys router. can you please at least re upload the wrtfile using other file host. like filesonic or mediafire. tnxs
I fucking love you man, yes homo. you saved me $100 from buying a new wrt160n router, i was tripping since i tried to upgrade and shit but all i did was what you told me and it worked, just used the v1 file for wrt160n. thanks mannn :)
First let me say, I was going to do a JTAG on my WRT54GL, but did a bit more sifting online. Found this Video post. After DL my proper firmware, I must say this has to be one of the most usefull videos I have seen! Thanks to the OG poster!
I also can't get it to work, it says it transferred the stock firmware successfully but I can't access the router config page, did it exactly the same way.
@jumpily try loading the ddwrt firmware instead of the stock... because i had some problems also trying to load the stock firmware back on... u might only be able to load ddwrt D: but at least it will work
i have a bricked wrt54g2 v1..... im receiving the reply from ping... but when i try to upgrade with tftp... i get an error saying "Unable to get responses from the server"... im using windows 7.... any suggestions... please....
i have a bricked wr54gv1 i pinger and installed original firmware but i cant use the internet to get to the router settings or any website with or with out the network settings you mentioned. any ideas?
Thanks i finally got it to work with my wrt54Gv8 it took many tries un and repluging the power but i finally got it to transfer the firmware. the only other thing i did since i was running windows 7 is entered "netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=none" in a admin cmd promp.
I tried to put dd-wrt on my Linksys wrt54g2 v1 and completely failed :( I think I got a complete brick because every time I try to ping it I get 4 request timed out messages and 100% pack loss. I guess I really screwed up lol. The 1, 2, 3, 4 leds on the router are just solid lit and so is the internet symbol.
