[edit] Flashing instructions
You will first need to download this file for initial flash from stock firmware:
- Go into the Linksys stock firmware and choose to reset to defaults.
- Once that is finished, set a static IP on your machine to 192.168.1.6 with subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1
- Log back into the Linksys firmware and find where to update the firmware.
- Select the file linked above and then begin the flash procedure, this usually takes 6-7 minutes for it to finish properly, so be patient!
- Once it is finished, close your browser, then reopen and browse to http://192.168.1.1 it should want you to set a user/password, do so.
- When you are in DD-WRT's webUI, go to Administration > Factory Defaults
- Select to "Restore Factory Defaults" This will effectively hard reset the router and ensure integrity of the flash.
- Return your machine to auto-DHCP.
- Log back into the webUI @ http://192.168.1.1 and set a user/pass and enjoy DD-WRT!
[edit] Upgrading DD-WRT
Please see "Where Do I Download Firmware?" for more information.
- Go to the linksys_E2100L subfolder of the desired release folder and download e2100l-firmware.bin
- Open browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1 (or whichever IP address you assigned to your router).
- Go to Administration -> Firmware Upgrade tab.
- Browse to and elect downloaded e2100l-firmware.bin file.
- Click on "Upgrade" (do not select reset to defaults after flashing).
- Wait until the router has completely finished flashing and rebooting (~5-10 minutes).
- Depending on whether or not it shows the page to click on "Continue", do so to proceed (or not).
- You should still be able to navigate anywhere within the webUI afterwards.
[edit] Reverting back to stock
