Flashing

Flashing dd-wrt

Supported by dd-wrt as of = v24 rc7 - build 9120

In order to flash your router you need to do the following steps:

  • Download TFTPserver, it can be downloaded from here
  • Download firmware from here
  • Download Putty client or you can use any telnet clients(try to stay away from Windows built in telnet)
  • Change your local IP adress to a static 192.168.0.2 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
  • Connect an ethernet cable between your computer and DIR-400's WAN port
  • Prepare Putty telnet session -- 192.168.0.1 port 9000
  • Start pinging your router throught a command line. Type ping 192.168.0.1 -n 900 (You don't really need to ping that many times)
  • Power DIR-400 router on and wait for 2nd successful ping and then initiate putty telnet session.
  • Press CTRL-C as soon as you see that boot script is executing (if you are using Putty ver. 0.60 or newer then you don't have to worry about this)
  • Start TFTP server with linux.bin in TFTP root directory

If you did everything right then you should see the following on the window of putty:
