Augur 11:34, 30 August 2010 (CEST)

Read This First

READ the Peacock Thread first. use the wiki and forums to do research before even contemplating installing dd-wrt
check the WG602v3 works before flashing
check your WG602v3 matches the details in the [Supported Devices page]

Firmware

the WG602v3 only has 2mb flash memory so can only support the micro builds
BrainSlayer builds (13525) dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/older/12-28-09-r13525/broadcom/
[dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin]
using [tftp2.exe]

Preparing The WG602v3

  1. connect the WG602v3 to a computer using a network cable
  2. set static ip of computer to 192.168.0.220/24
    • there should be no means of access to any other router or dhcp server or the WG602v3 will not set its default ip address.
  3. perform a [30-30-30 Hard Reset]
  4. in browser go to http://192.168.0.227 L:admin P:password and check it is the default netgear setup


Installing dd-wrt

  1. on the computer disable firewall and antivirus
  2. run tftp2.exe
    • configure as follows
    • Server to 192.168.0.227
    • password leave blank
    • pick the firmware
    • set rety to 50
  3. open a command prompt and type in ping 192.168.0.227 -t
  4. unplug power lead from router
  5. replug power lead into router
  6. the instant you get a ping response from the router click Upgrade
    • if it doesn't work try unplugging again (timing matters)
    • stop pinging the router (ctrl-c)


  • (very important) wait 5-7 minutes after you get the success message before doing anything. recomend you walk away and get a drink

  1. reconfigure the static ip of the computer to 192.168.1.220/24
  2. in browser go to http://192.168.1.1
    • if you get the dd-wrt web gui password change page perform a power cycle on the router
  3. when the web gui comes up again perform a 30-30-30 hard reset
  4. wait for gui to come up again
    • change default username and password
    • close browser
  5. open browser and load the gui again. you should now have the status screen
    • login and configure
  6. remember to re-enable firewall, antivirus, and dhcp on the computer
