ah, BUT, when I connected to, guess which firmware was running on the router? YES, DD-WRT is still there. Then, on the current DD-WRT version on my router (DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/27/13) std - build 21676) I went to Administration -> Firmware Upgrade -> kept the 'Don't reset' option selected, chose the file on my hard drive to upgrade to (Gargoyle version mentioned above) and hit Upgrade.Įverything seemed to go fine, no errors, smooth as silk, and then, after the reboot got an IP address and all, as expected, right?īut. So I read all required Gargoyle's docs, confirmed OpenWRT compatibility with my router (TP-Link TL-WR842ND v1) and downloaded gargoyle_1.5.11-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr842n-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin. But So did 12548.Today I found out about Gargoyle and how awesome it is (after getting pissed with DD-WRT flaws). If you wish to change, I would suggest 12874.

You will not find that much changes in functionality in the micro builds. I get the feeling, that I should leave well enough alone. If you don't have time to read thoroughly, I don't have time to re-type what you missed.Ĭould you suggest a firmware which offers greater functionality? If you have dd-wrt already on the router, there is no reason a proper micro build will not flash, short of process error or hardware failure. See the process for flashing from dd-wrt in note 1 of the peacock. However, there is no good reason that horrible build should not load. You will find that your choice of builds is bad. Well, since you want to exercise your mind, read the peacock announcement. When I try to update through the Administration screen, ' update Failed'. Then I have to reload the previous firmware, then all is well. When I try to update through tftp: the router's power led flashes I can't get the username/password screen. This is what I am trying to load ' dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin 1,68 MB ' To what the new firmware offers, and yes, primarily to play, learn, and experiment. Only reason I want to change the firmware, is to try another (newer) version. Are you sure you downloaded the right file. See note 4 too.Īny generic micro build will fit on your router. If you want to change, make sure you have a reason.

Update for dd wrt v24 sp2
