Posted: Tue May 05, 2009 11:44 pm Post subject: Peacock Thread-To get dd-wrt working well, read this first
I called this the peacock thread so it can be searched for easily.
I am seeing the same common problems and confusion arising over and over again. Here are some comments on common problems:
1. DO A HARD RESET *BEFORE AND AFTER* YOU FLASH FIRMWARE. This does not mean hitting the reset button and saying you are done. This means doing the 30-30-30 reset. To do a 30-30-30 reset you must push the reset button with your router powered on. Hold it for 30 seconds with the router powered on. STILL holding it, pull the power cord for 30 seconds. Still holding it, plug the router back in. You will have held the button for a full 90 seconds without releasing it.
(Note that the WRT54GS v1.1 router can brick after a hard reset no matter how it is done. See this post and the solution in Vulcan's post

After you have done this, if you haven't been asked to change your password when you login to the webgui,(presuming you are using a build newer than 9707, June 14, 2008 to flash with when the auto reconfig password was introduced) you haven't done the hard reset properly.
This is not a minor optional step. The firmware writes information to the Nvram. This step clears that information. If you don't clear it properly, parts of the old information be present with the new firmware, which can make it not operate properly. Don't cut corners. Doing it before you upgrade can be very important; a hard reset is not just for after upgrades.
The proper process for flashing when upgrading firmware is:
a. Hard reset prior to flashing. Wait. Check for password page on re-login and change password.
b. Flash firmware. You can use the webgui except if you have a buffalo or a belkin router.
c. Wait...at least three minutes. Lights should return to normal. See important2, below. Failing to wait is how most people brick their routers.
d. Do a power cycle of the router. Unplug the cord, count to 30 and plug it back in.
e. Wait for the lights to return to normal usually about 2 minutes.
f. HARD reset again. Wait. Check for the password page and re-login to change the password. Then you can reconfigure your setttings manually.
Important: This 30-30-30 hard reset works fine for Asus router, but you do have to power cycle after the reset.
Important2: After you flash the firmware, and before you do the hard reset, the router will be building some nvram settings. YOU MUST WAIT FOR THIS TO FINISH PRIOR TO DOING ANYTHING WITH THE ROUTER INCLUDING A HARD RESET. Usually, you can tell when this process is completed by the WAN light coming on, but it does take several minutes. Go have a beer. There are starting to be more and more people who BRICK their routers by not waiting until the nvram is rebuilt, PRIOR to doing a hard reset. YOU NEED TO WAIT!
If you have done a hard reset on the router, and received the change password screen, make sure you mention this in your post if you still have a problem....otherwise everyone will be telling you to do a hard reset.
2. You CANNOT install old configuration files on any newer firmware without risking large problems. Don't do it. Delete your old configuration files once you are sure the newer firmware is stable. They are useless. Yes. You should also not re-use old config files IF you are having any problems, or you could put the problem back in. This does mean you have to re-enter ALL your configurations again. Don't bitch about this. It's the FUN of third party firmware. Plus you might see some options you missed before. If this is a hassle for you, try using Imacros for firefox to automate the process.
Frater has also championed some scripts that can be used to restore some parts of the nvram:

3. Upgrade to a recommended newer build, especially if you are running SP1 or earlier builds. Newer builds contain fixes for bugs. At the time of writing, the latest official build is v.24 SP1. SP1 has a LOT of issues. These issues are fixed with some of the later builds. However, sometimes new builds have new bugs. New builds are BETA and not "finished" yet. Although you use them at your own risk these builds have been pretty thoroughly tested and work well, certainly better than SP1. Browse the forums and see what others are saying. These are the recommended builds:
SVN11296 (for all basic g routers)
Eko11793, BS12058(in the 080509 folder) or Eko12060 for wireless N/Dual Radio devices.
In fact, given how well these builds are testing, I would now go so far as to say, IMHO, you should not put SP1 on your router....use one of these newer builds. You can get Beta Builds at Downloads, Other, Eko, TNG_24, and then go to the folder number that matches the recommended build number.
Current list of BrainSlayer builds by date and build number - only one month listed (added by redhawk)
25/04/09 12006
29/04/09 12017
01/05/09 12033
08/05/09 12058
18/05/09 12134 and 12145 (depending on build size)
21/05/09 12188
Various builds have issues with respect to wireless encyption types, so you might have to try another one if one is not working. The newest builds appear to have Upnp issues.
Each build has a thread on the forum. Some of these new builds have worked out well, but they are mainly for Wireless N/Dual Radio setups. If you need wireless N speed, or have a dual radio definitely check out the build threads and see what others are saying. If you don't have a dual radio or a wireless N router, 11296 remains the most reliable build.
SECURITY settings often do NOT work properly with v.24SP1 and, as stated there has been problems with them even in later builds. SP1 also does not forward DHCP properly in bridged mode. If this is your problem you NEED to upgrade to a later build to use the encryption type you wish or to have DHCP working in bridged mode. Try the later builds to solve this issue.
Builds that are newer than the recommended ones listed here are not necessarily better. If you see a newer folder and think you will try that, even though it's not one of the builds recommended above, be sure you have a jtag cable and a place to attach it. Don't think I just haven't upgraded this thread. Take a look at the edits...
Make sure your firewalls and virus protection are disabled prior to upgrading. Some people have had problems accessing their router due to not disabling their computer security.
This is a link to these new, beta, experimental builds:
EKO:
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24_TNG/
Brainslayer:
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/
The router database is recommending some weirdo builds, including SP1 and a 115xx build that wasn't as good as the builds recommended here. Don't ask me why, or use those builds. [/unquote] |
