You could also 'drown out' other wireless signals that use the same channel. Turn up the power incrementally until you get the level of service you need you do not want to get noticed by the Fed. Note: Please keep in mind that FCC regulations restrict wireless transmit levels for devices like these. Adjust transmit power - boost the wireless transmitter up to a whopping 251mW.Here are just some of the features that this DD-WRT firmware makes available that transform this router into something far cooler than the vendor firmware provides: Obviously, the G-specific details would need to be adjusted to match the model being modded.) ( Note: This Instructable will work with most models of LinkSys WRT54G-series router. This will also delete your hardware MAC addresses which aren't stored in the CFE like in other routers - the command line mtd utility can permanently brick your router. WARNING: Never, and I say never try to clear the nvram by the mtd utility.

The other Linksys router version-specific binaries are meant to be applied only through tftp upgrades.

For flashing via the web GUI interface (after applying the mini firmware), always use the included 'generic' binaries.

After this first flash upgrade, any other DD-WRT full firmware binary may be applied.

For upgrading from the original Linksys firmware, please use the generic mini version (dd-wrt.vXX_mini_generic.bin) and flash it from the web GUI interface.

Using Linksys WRT54G v1.1 router (serial # prefix CDF2)Ī few notes from the DD-WRT hwsupport.txt file:.

Note: I'm working on an updated version of this '-able' using firmware release v.24 SP1.

It also means that the chip can hold other code - code written by someone other than the original vendor. The good news is: the vendors allow changes to that chip, so if they produce new versions of firmware, you - the end-user - can copy another version into NVRAM, letting your old device do new tricks. It is stored on a non-volatile memory (NVRAM) chip. It's called firmware because it's not in the form of traditional 'software' - it's not on a moving disk. The firmware consists of the start-up instructions that make those switches actually do things. Well, that router is really just a fancy pile of switches waiting to be told what to do that's the hardware. 'What is this 'firmware' of which you speak?' you ask. Third-party developers have made firmware upgrades available that unleash a lot more functionality. Even the updates from the vendor's support website unlock only a fraction of the router's capabilities. There's much more under the hood of these devices than is accessible with the vendor's default firmware versions. Take a plain, ordinary (read: boring, with limited functionality) $60 wireless router and supercharge it with cool features and lots more functionality, control, and diagnostics.
