[edit] How To Flash
NOTE:During configuration or flashing a router, the only thing that should be hooked to the router is the computer through the ethernet cable, and power.
IN SPITE OF SOME OTHER INSTRUCTIONS ELSEWHERE, YOU REALLY NEED TO CREATE A CUSTOM VX Image for your router. If you don’t you will get a generic MAC address on your router and a generic MAC address will mean most ISP won’t let you connect to the Internet. Here is how to do it properly:
- Go to this thread and download the zipped files in GV5Flash.zip: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=58231 (If you get a malware warning from your antivirus, ignore it. The file is clean and contains no malware).
- Read the peacock announcement found here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486
- Do a HARD reset on the router according to note 1 of the peacock announcement (30/30/30)
- Set a static IP on your computer to 192.168.1.7. Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
- Connect the LAN cable from your computer to a LAN port of your router. Make sure your router is plugged in. Nothing should be connected to your computer or the router except the LAN cable between them. Turn your firewall and any wireless computer connections OFF.
- Unzip the file you downloaded in step one, and place it in a location you can easily find on your computer.
- Unzip the VXImgToolGui.zip file to the same folder as where you placed the other files you downloaded.
- Start VXImgToolGui.exe.
- Make sure the top button is on the left for WRT54G, not the right for WRT54GS.
- Put the MAC address from the bottom of your router in the box that says 'Desired MAC' (Tip: You can also copy/paste the mac address from the Linksys Firmware StatusLocal Network page)
- Click on the three dots next to 'output image' and save the file as My54gImage.bin in the same folder as everything else is located.
- Power cycle the router (unplug the power from the router for 30 seconds and then plug it back in).
- Open your browser to 192.168.1.1 by putting that in the browser address window of your browser. You should open the linksys webgui and NOT a page that says Management Mode. If you see management mode, power cycle the router again.
- Enter 'root' as the username and 'admin' as the password.
- Go to Administration and Firmware Upgrade.
- Navigate to the folder that you are using, and select vxworks_prep_03.bin.
- Hit upgrade.
- Wait for FIVE FULL MINUTES. Go for a walk. Don't you TOUCH that router for FIVE MINUTES.
- When five full Earth minutes have passed, power cycle the router.
- Browse again to 192.168.1.1. If you get a blank window, clear your browser cache. NOW you should be in the MANAGEMENT MODE window.
- Select the My54gImage.bin file that you created. Hit Apply.
- Wait for the 'Upgrade Success' message, and then WAIT FIVE FULL MINUTES again. Don't TOUCH your router.
- Start tftp.exe.
- Enter 192.168.1.1 as the address in the top box of tftp.exe.
- Leave the password blank.
- Select the 12548 Newd_Micro.bin firmware.
- Set retries to 99.
- Power cycle the router.
- Count to 2.
- Hit upgrade.
- When you get a success, wait FIVE FULL minutes.
- If you don't get success, repeat from steps 20(4) up to this one. If you still don't get success, clear your browser cache. Try using a different browser as well, to navigate to 192.168.1.1.
- When you can access the dd-wrt webgui using a browser at 192.168.1.1, power cycle the router.
- When you can again access the dd-wrt webgui using a browser at 192.168.1.1, do another HARD reset on the router.
- Reset your computer Ethernet connection to auto IP and auto DNS.

PROBLEM AND WORKAROUND TO AN INACCESSIBLE LINKSYS WRT54G V6.0 ROUTER--- may be good for V5 as well.
problem: power led blinking rapidly, wireless led is off, my PC is unable to get an ip address by way of DHCP.
steps taken to revive it with dd-wrt firmware:
Linksys Wrt54g Version 6 Firmware Download
- cycle power several times to see if it would change.... nothing
- as a result of this, I am unable to follow the steps outlined above concerning GV5Flash.zip.
- performed a 30-30-30 reset.
- DHCP now running, but now the router is in 'management mode' at 192.168.1.1, my PC was issued 192.168.1.11.
- According to this wiki, it is advised to run 'VXImgToolGui.exe' in order to save your MAC address so that's the first thing I did.
- Now, In management mode, I used the 'vxworks_prep_03.bin' file to attempt to upgrade firmware since I am unable to do so logged in to router because the router wont boot. 'Upgrade Success' at this point. The management mode page reloads again.
- I wait 5 full minutes (just in case) then, still in 'management mode', I use the 'My54gImage.bin' created with the 'VXImgToolGui.exe' tool and run the upgrade again. 'Upgrade Success'.
- I wait 5 full minutes (just in case), then power cycle the router. I get the same 'problem' as in the beginning only now I cant get back to management mode. I can still ping 192.168.1.1 though.
- At this point, I used 'tftp.exe' (included in the GV5Flash.zip) and prepare that for flashing using the included 'dd-wrt.v24-12548_NEWD_micro.bin' firmware.
- Now, give your PC a static ip address (192.168.1.x)
- Power cycle the router, and as you see your PC's LAN connection pop in, run the tftp.exe as prepared in the step above. Flash successful!
- Wait 5 minutes and during that time, look at your router. The power led will stop blinking and go steady and the wireless led will finally come ON.
- After all this, I am able to power cycle router and log in to dd-wrt!! At this point, I upgraded the firmware to the one I really wanted to use. Everything works. And my MAC address is retained. I hope this is helpful to anyone else reading this. ;-)....pcdocta
____________________________________________________________________________
Interesting but non-sense notes:
I have a WRT54G v5, serial #CDFB (Neutered). Linksys firmware on it.First thing I noted, my router went in management mode everytime I hard-reset'd it. A supplementary powerycle was mandatory.
I followed the steps described in the wiki, but the TFTP steps didn't work at all. The modem was then stuck in management mode. I tried to use the management mode (white page) to upload vxworks_prep_03.bin and My54gImage.bin files again, the router reported me that it was a success but nothing changed.
After that when I tried TFTPing the 12548 Newd_Micro.bin firmware, it enabled the router to load in the normal mode instead if management mode. I booted the router many times and the results were the same: Boot without TFTP : goes in management mode. Boot with TFTP: goes in normal mode. The TFTP wasn't udating anything, it kind of 'triggered' the normal menu. The TFTP program would show 'Erasing....' for few seconds, then crash, and then the router would boot normally. Weird behavior...
From that point, I didn't know what to expect. So I reached and used the firmware upgrade menu of the linksys web gui to apply the Linksys standard firmware (found on Linksys website).
Then I tried again to follow the instructions in the wiki.
Got stuck at the same step. TFTP wasn't accepting the bin. The router kept returning my pings quickly (TTL=64).
But this time, the TFTP procedure didn't work to get access to the normal linksys gui.
Then I used the management mode gui to upload My54gImage.bin again. That time, my pings results were coming back with a TTL=100.
I don't know if it means something. But right after that the TFTP procedure worked 100%.
[edit] Other Notes
Also see this page: Version 5 And 6 Router Information
There is good information at the scorpiontek site:http://www.scorpiontek.org/portal/content/view/27/36
A CFE compressor is available for the Gv5.0,5.1, and 6.0. It enables micro_plus to be put on the router. Click here.
Linux users: VXImgToolGui.exe successfully ran under Wine 1.3 (ubuntu default install) with no issues and tftp from repo used to upload image in BINARY MODE. No problems at all during install following steps above. WRT54G v6 running Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) micro directly, did _not_ use 12548 Newd_Micro.bin > upgrade, otherwise followed directions.

Linksys Wired Router :: BEFSR81 V3.1 Firmware Downgrade?
Feb 20, 2011I recently updated the firmware on my BEFSR81 v3.1 but would now like to revert to the previous version.
Where I can find the earlier version? I've got 2.51.4, build 006 Aug 21 2009 and need the one before.
It's not a critical problem, but more of an annoyance. I power everything here off one big switch which goes off overnight. Before the update I'd just switch it all on in the morning and everything would, after a minute or so, work fine. Now, however, I have to power up the router a minute after the modem or it just sits there doing nothing. That's OK when I'm here, but if it's just the wife she can't reach the back to do it.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Firmware Ver.4.21.4 Crashes WRT54G V2
Sep 5, 2011In hopes of fixing some 'flaky' connection issues with my WRT54G V2 Wireless Router, I downloaded and applied the new firmware version released on 08/18/2011, Ver.4.21.4 for my Version 2 Router. I downloaded, went through the application process using the router's firmware update process, it said it was successful and then the router restarted and didn't work. Couldn't ping the address, constant flashing Power light, no response at all from router. Tried again, same result. Performed hard reset, same result. Tried a few other recovery techniques found on the web with no success. Finally I did the process found here [URL] This reset the router and I re-uploaded this same 2011 version. Router still broken. I ran through the process again after downloading an older version of the firmware, specifically version V3.1_4.00.7, the upload ran, and the router worked again! This was proof to me that the newest version completely BRICKED my router. I'm so relieved I was able to reset the router and manually recover, but most will never try this. I recommend Cisco retest this ASAP and pull the new release for the V2 router until they get this resolved!

Dec 6, 2011i just updated my firmware on my wrt54g ver 2 router, went through all the steps it updated successfully after that i hit the reset button and unplugged the router as tehe online instructions said to. Now i can't connect to the interent at all with either of my two wired computers or through the wireless. All the lights on the front of the router are on like the power, internet, and wireless connectivity. Also the the two WAN ports my computers are connected to in the router the lights are on and it's recognising them. But I can't connect to the internet or even see the router on my network settings. Somone suggested to reconfigure the router but when i go to set up new connection my computer doesn't detect the router and also i cant connect to the router using the ip address 192.168.1.1/ since there is no internet connection. Is there a way to get to the router options or a way to revert it to its old firmware.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G V8 Browser Firmware Update Screen
Jan 9, 2012I have a wrt54G v8 wireless router and I was trying to install a firmware update a while ago and got impatient, stopped the upgrade in the middle of it and I think I may have bricked my router. I've since tried the 30/30/30 reset a number of times and have noticed that I don't get a blinking power light which I guess means it's ok.
Now when I go to 192.168.1.1 and log in, I can see most menus but when I click the firmware update menu (there's another screen that's also all white, I forget which one), it's all white (or blank). I've searched for a solution on the web and no luck so far.
I've been trying to do this on a mac and no luck. I then booted into windows 7 and used IE 9 to log into 192.168.1.1 and still the same thing, the firmware update screen is blank.

Linksys Wrt54g Ver 6 Firmware
Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Signal Strength Bounce After Firmware Upgrade
Dec 10, 2012Linksys Wrt54gs Version 6 Firmware
Have two WRT54G Wireless Routers.
-One WRT54G ver. 6, Firmware Version v1.028
-One WRT54G ver. 6, Firmware Version v2.x
With the WRT54G ver. 6, Firmware Version v1.028.When I ran the android app WiFi Analyzer, I get mixed results.On my Samsung Galaxy S3, I saw my signal on Channel 2, and others around me (two on Channel 6 and two on Channel 11).On my ASUS Transformer Prime TFT201 I see the same signals, but my router signal bounces continously between the baseline (-100dBm?) and about -35dBm.
Plugged in the WRT54G ver. 2, Firmware Version v2.x Channel 8.Hooked it up and got good steady signal strength. It Had 'WPA - Shared Key' but did not have the 'WPA - Personal' that was on the ver. 6. So, I had to go and screw things up. I've upgraded this to Firmware Version: v4.21.5 and guess what? I now have 'WPA - Personal'. I also have a signal is bouncing on BOTH units.
On my ASUS, I can see both routers. The ver. 2 AND the ver. 6 are bouncing between baseline and -35dBm, in unison. Apprently something in the ASUS does not like the later Firmwares.On my Samsung I can see the two signals - the ver. 2 on Channel 8 is stable as a rock and the ver. 6 on Channel 2 is also bouncing, but at a much slower rate! Running Speedtest.net a PC hardwired to the ver. 2 - I get 5.34 Mb/s Download and 0.47 Mb/s upload (yeah, my Internet sucks!) Running Speedtest.net through the ASUS/WiFi to the ver. 2 - I get 2.43 Mb/s Down and 0.65 Mb/s Up.Running Speedtest.net through the Samsung/WiFi to the ver. 2 - I get 5.07 Mb/s Down and 1.07 Mb/s Up.
