Firmware-update: Linksys WRT54G 7.00.4 prolife1 wijst ons erop dat Linksys nieuwe firmware heeft uitgebracht voor de zevende revisie van zijn WRT54G-router. Om erachter te komen uit welke revisie. Sveasoft actually sports three different families of firmware: Sveasoft firmware for Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS routers, Alchemy firmware that works with a list of routers (which is free and adds.

Need firmware update for Linksys WRT54GS My router's last update was: v1.50.6,Feb. I use the router at home with no problems (we had a desktop and a laptop using it; now just the laptop).

[edit]Hardware
- Broadcom BCM5354 @ 240 MHz
- 16 MB RAM / 2 MB Flash ROM
- S/N Prefix
- WRT54GSv7(.0): CGNA, CGNB, CGNC
- WRT54GSv7.2: CGNE
- FCC ID
- WRT54GSv7(.0): Q87-WRT54GSV7
- WRT54GSv7.2: Q87-WRT54GSV72
[edit]Installation
This flash method applies to EON, INTEL, and SAMSUNG(?) flash chips.
NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS: The native TFTP Client is disabled by default, so enable it before proceeding (or download a third party TFTP tool, ex: TFTP2 or TFTP32/TFTP64). In Windows, go to 'Add or Remove Programs' (or 'Programs and Features', depending on the Windows version) from the Start menu or Control Panel, then the Windows Features section, and scroll down to select TFTP Client to enable it.
- First download vxworkskillerGSv7-v3.bin and dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
- Set a static IP address (outside DHCP range e.g. 192.168.1.10), connect the PC ethernet to a router LAN port
- Linux command: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10
- Windows™: go to Control Panel->Network and Internet->Network Connections
- Right-click, go to the LAN device properties, then find and open the TCP/IPv4 Properties
- Select 'Use the following IP address' to set a static IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10, subnet 255.255.255.0)
- Ensure this static IP is outside the DHCP range
- Unplug the router, then hold the reset button while reconnecting power for about 20 seconds.
- Open your browser to http://192.168.1.1/
- Use the Firmware upgrade option under the Administration tab to flash vxworkskillerGSv7-v3.bin.
- After the dialogue about disconnecting the power cord is shown, disconnect the power cord and reconnect it.
- Wait for FIVE FULL minutes, then disconnect the power cord for 10sec and reconnect it.
- Transfer the firmware using TFTP
- Linux command: tftp -v -m octet 192.168.1.1 -c put dd-wrt.v24-micro_generic.bin
- Windows™ Command Prompt (cmd): tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
- Wait for tftp to finish, then the router will automatically reboot. Finally, access the GUI at 192.168.1.1
- Watch the router lights: the power light will eventually come on, followed by the WLAN light
- Note: If the router does not boot automatically, even after a power cycle, reset again, per step 3.
[edit]Alternate method to flash WRT54GSv7.2
Linksys Wrt54g Setup Software
There is no resetting in the middle of this process. This method has also been used on WRT54Gv8 (not GS), and should work on the v7.0. My WRT54GSv7.2 has an EON EN29LB160AB-70TCP flash chip and 16MB Samsung RAM.
tiger12506 has successfully performed this on two WRT54GS v7.2 with CGNE serial numbers. He felt that he had bricked one of the routers at first. Messing around with JTAG cables taught him some things, but be absolutely sure that you have tftp set to binary or octel. If you leave tftp in ascii it will appear to work but the flash won't take.
1. Use the web interface to reset the router to factory defaults.
2. Manually set a static IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10 or any address outside the DHCP range)
54g Router
- Linux: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10
3. Use the web inferface to update the firmware to vxworkskillerGSv7-v3.bin.
4. Windows: tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
- Linux: enter tftp mode with # tftp 192.168.1.1
5. Start a continuous ping: ping -t 192.168.1.1 (-t is Windows only)This will time out repeatedly, then the router will respond about two and six times, time out again a few times, and then start responding to pings.
- [This is where tiger12506 had trouble, but after a long reset, and some short resets, more and more lights came on until finally the WLAN light came on and the router functioned normally running DD-WRT]
6. Access the DD-WRT GUI at 192.168.1.1
[edit]De-brick
With the first .bin file I installed from the Linksys GUI Admin options, upload went about half way then tried to reboot, and bricked my WRT54GSv7. With this procedure (external link), using this command from the .bin file location worked, but had to hit enter TWICE to execute the command to install the 2nd bin file:
- tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
[edit]Notes
Historical information: All flash chips are supported, follow this procedure.

Upgrading Cisco Linksys Wireless Router Firmware (WRT54g v5) November 4, 2010
Posted by jbruelasdgo in Personal.trackback
este post no tiene nada que ver con virtualizacion. Me toco ser de aquellos que tenian acceso a internet por telefono (uuuuuuuhhhh hace tiempo de eso, de ahi viene mi cuenta de AOL), luego probe el “broadband” de Cablevision 😉
tomamos la decision de cambiar luego la conexion con esa empresa telefonica que domina el mercado en Mexico (si lo reconozco, estoy enriqueciendo a Slim!!!) . En fin, como parte de tener seguridad en la conexion, y publicar wireless en la casa, desde que estaba con Cablevision adquirimos un Router Cisco Linksys (modelo WRT54g v5), el cual hace su trabajo de manera increible. El tema es que desde que por alguna razon, mientras no este conectado a la VPN, los videos de YouTube en ocasiones se trababan, en ocasiones se ejecutaban bien, en ocasiones ni siquiera empezaban (por supuesto que no podemos vivir sin YouTube cierto??). Probe con todo lo recomendado aqui en el portal de soporte de YouTube (o si, tienen uno!!!) pero sin exito.
Quitamos el router y voila!!! los videos se visualizan sin ningun problema. Asi que identificamos el issue, algo tenia el router que no permitia ver los videos en YouTube. Asi que me fui a investigar el tema del router. Resulta que viendo los release notes de las actualizaciones de firmware, encontramos el issue!!! (Resolves issues with certain Internet video streaming), asi que manos a la obra, habia que actualizar el firmware, y asi es como lo hicimos:
– Lo primero que se tiene que revisar, es que modelo y version se tiene del router Cisco Linksys, y esto se obtiene si se mira la parte inferior del router , para ello, la imagen inferior muestra un ejemplo del modelo y version:
en mi caso, tengo el modelo WRT54G, version 5.
– lo siguiente es bajar el update de firmware, para ello, tendrian que ir al siguiente link: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT54G. Ahi seleccionan el modelo y version, y proceden a bajar el software.
– Recomendacion: antes de proceder a realizar el upgrade, es recomendado realizar un respaldo de la configuracion del router, para ello ir al menu (desde la interfaz web de administracion) Administration – Config Management – Backup – Config.bin. Hay que guardar este archivo en nuestra equipo.
– Upgrade el firmware. Desde la interfaz web de administracion, ir al menu Administration – Firmware upgrade . Ahi escojan el archivo que bajaron anteriormente. Y presionen upgrade (una vez que el proceso se inicia, no presionen ningun link en la interfaz, solo esperen a que el upgrade termine. y por ultimo, verifiquen que se realizo el upgrade (en mi caso, tenia version 1.0.0, y despues version 1.02.8).
upgrade linksys
y al finalizar, incluso me cambio el logo a Cisco 🙂 (ahhh, y ya puedo ver videos en YouTube usando mi Wireless Router, y no el de la empresa que provee el servicio de Broadband)
