BSP Killer Notes for the Linksys WRT54GS2V1


------ VxWorksKiller-GS2V1.bin ---------


1. Reset the router to defaults on the Linksys Admin page, and let it reboot
or manually reboot it after its finished.

2. Set your computer to a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and 255.255.255.0 for a mask
and plug ethernet cable into LAN port of the GS2v1 unit.

3. Log in admin page (username is blank, password = admin) and navigate to firmware
upgrade page. Browse to the VxWorksKiller-GS2V1.bin file, press Upgrade and wait 60
seconds for it to reboot on its own, if it does not, then powercycle the router manually.
Wait another 60 seconds and reboot it again. Router should now be listening for tftp
transfer of dd-wrt firmware.

4. Tftp the DD-WRT firmware to the router, use latest "dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin"
from the folder where you got these instructions; after sucessful tftp, wait 3 min for
the router to finish writing new nvram deafults, etc... It should reboot on its own at
least two times, so give it 3 min and then go to
http://192.168.1.1 (If it not reboot
on its own, wait another 1 min, and then power cycle it)

5. When if finishes booting up...do a hard reset on the unit...let it boot again,
and configure.

6. Don't forget to set your computer back to automatically obtaining DHCP and DNS.



That's what it brings up when I searched for "WRT54GS2" here


http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database#

Seemed pretty straight forward

I edited my post above, you might need to use dd-wrt but make sure your router is on the list
P.S. why did you even buy this router, the best one is wrt54g/gl, it works with all modded firmware
bad news, I just check dd-wrt site, your router is NOT on thir list as well, here you go : "Router Database: 0 routers found"

[igoreshka]

I think even if you did a HR it stays with the original firmware, try to log on to CP and check

[dishuser]

yes, but the confusing part is ipv4 or ipv6 should i change.

you're making it confusing for no reason
there is no ipv4 or 6 to select

Flashing the Linksys WRT54GS2V1
Warning - There is no Revert for this router at this time

Configure your computer's local lan ethernet address to 192.168.1.10, subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1 . Then connect an Ethernet cable to your computer and port 1 of your router. (Do Not Use Wireless)(Nothing else connected to router)
Perform a Hard_reset_or_30/30/30.
Open your browser to http://192.168.1.1.
Use the firmware upgrade dialog to flash Vxworkskiller-GS2V1.bin.
WAIT for at least five minutes before you continue! (longer is better) Give vxworks killer plenty of time to do its magic! After at least five minutes, you will need to power cycle the router.
You will not be able to browse the WRT54GS2v1 at this point, but you should be able to ping 192.168.1.1. If the router doesn't reply you haven't set your computer's network settings correctly (on step 1)
Tftp the DD-WRT firmware to the router, use latest dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin from the folder where you got these instructions; after sucessful tftp, wait 5 min for the router to finish writing new nvram deafults, etc... It should reboot on its own at least 2 times, so give it 5 min and then go to http://192.168.1.1 (If it not reboot on its own, wait another 2 min, and then power cycle it) , you should see the password reset page. Don't worry about changing it at this point.
Perform a Hard_reset_or_30/30/30.
WAIT for at least 5 minutes before you continue! (longer is better) Give the router plenty of time to to boot.
Browse 192.168.1.1, you should see the password reset page, change it! Then configure .

Depends on the step, but sounds like you just installed and now you need to set your ip back to dhcp. The router will establish the connection and assign you an ip?

[khoifish89]

i have check and now the light "on" is not on. i will try it again tomorrow.
