Setup a Linksys WRT54GL V1.1

[khoifish89]

Okay, I got the router now. Can anyone help me flash it with tomato.

[boxingfan]

just follow the read me note on the file, it is really easy

[khoifish89]

there is nothing there. as in what do i change on the ip config, subnet, gateway, etc

[boxingfan]

what r you trying to do? did you flash it?

[khoifish89]

what r you trying to do? did you flash it?

it came pre-flash. now i want to connect up to my 2wire

[boxingfan]

i had done before this is how

c/p


# In the router's setup, go to Wireless.

# Change the Wireless Mode to "WET" (Wireless Ethernet Bridge).

# For the SSID, enter the name of the AP you'll be connecting to.

# Go to Administration, and click the "Reboot" button.

# After the router reboots, go to the Setup page.

# Set the router IP to something within your other router's subnet (such as 192.168.1.2). Your other router won't be able to assign an IP to this interface. UPDATE: According to Thibor, the developer of the firmware for the WRT54GS, wireless performance may be improved by setting this IP to something not within your other router's subnet. For example, if your main router's IP is 192.168.1.1, set your "bridge" to an IP of something such as 10.0.0.1. Once the router is set to bridge mode, there is not much need to access its setup page. If you ever
need to do so, plug a computer directly into it, and set the computer to a static IP of 10.0.0.2, for example.

# Disable DHCP (devices connected to the WRT54G, such as your TiVo, will get their IPs from your main router).

# If you use wireless security (WET, WPA, etc.), set the WRT54G to match the main router's settings in the "Wireless Security
" tab.

How hard is it to put Tomato on this WRT54GL router? I'm thinking about buying one tomorrow. They're on for $60 new.

Well that sure sounds easy. I'm hoping this well get my DHCP going for those newer files out there 55 & 56. Well how easy is it?

Might want to check out dd-wrt also. It is very easy and effective.

Found the Special Paid Edition on my puter I grabbed some where

DD-WRT V24 SP1 Special Version (Paid Versions All Special Edition)

[wyrman]

Think I'm in trouble now. Loaded Mini and did hard reset. Loaded standard and did hard reset. Now the power light just flashes on and off. Tried another hard reset. I can ping it but the light will still flash.

can you pull up the CP and tell me what is the version did you load?

[wyrman]

Put the mini in first and then did a hard reset then I put in "dd-wrt-v24_std generic.bin"

[igoreshka]

Control Panel, can you log on into the router CP and tell me what bin version do you see?

Where do I find that bud?

[igoreshka]

you need to open browser, type 192.168.1.1 in address bar , type user name and password, you should be able to see the router CP page, in the upper right corner should be a bin version, tell me what is it, please

I've did that 3 times all ready bud.

[igoreshka]

[dishuser]

go to local area connection in network/control panel to make sure ip is 192.168.1.1

I did the 30 x 3 bud. did it 3 times.

I'm running my older router at the moment. I can ping the new one but the ttl=100 so they say that's firmware fault.

[wyrman]

Got it going again. Used TFTP and the mini bin for wrt54gl

[PTown]

What did you end up putting on it ?

[Bigpineguy Retired]

You should be setting this up using a "wired" connection , and as dishuser stated, on you pc, right click on your wired connection icon, and click properties , go down to TCP/IP and click properties, and change IP to 192.168.1.1 and hit the "tab" button to assign a gateway, and then click close, and try again from there...

What did you end up putting on it ?

I ended up with DD-WRT 24 standard generic. All is good. That was my first time flashing DD-WRT and didn't wait long enough for the NRAM to reload.

I believe those are sp1's though, I think I have them also. Now they're up to preSP2 and pretty stable. All of the stuff in the paid ones the average user will never use, it's best to just use the latest recommended IMO. Glad you got it working.
I had to TFTP to my t-mob editions before I went all N.

This is VoIP bin for Linksys WRT54G v3.1 router.
