For those who has tried to flash RT-N13U with OpenWRT, I have some questions :

1. Based on what KLseet's instructions, HERE's the page in which he was based on.  Being a new comer in this flashing router with open firmware business, which of the files do I need to download to upgrade the firmware ?  I tried to upgrade firmware with openwrt-ramips-rt305x-rt-n13u-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin  --> but it fails to even upload to the router.

2. Do I need to upgrade some OpenWRT root file to router before upgrading it with the sysupgrade file above ?

Sorry for stupid questions.

Hi, I have successfully flash RT-N13U B1 with OpenWRT. You have downloaded the correct firmware "openwrt-ramips-rt305x-rt-n13u-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
But you need to upload the firmware via ASUS Restoration Utility. If you read KLSeet instructions, he did mention about it. Anyway, can you tell me you stuck at which process so that i can assist you easily.

Thank you for the reply.

After carefully read the instruction, and since his instruction to 'upgrade' the firmware is from the TP-link model, I would have thought that he suggested to flash with original firmware first with the Asus firmware restoration utility, and subsequently 'upgrade' the firmware with the above mentioned OpenWRT firmware from the Asus webUI page (under administration firmware upgrade option).

I will try to install the firmware again with the utility later and let you know the outcome.

You are welcome. Don't worry about bricking the router, personally i would said is it a-bit-that-hard to soft brick asus router as they comes with a restoration utility.

After you had flash the openwrt firmware via restoration utility, head to here:

http://www.klseet.com/index.php/tl-wr740n-...-a-install-luci

And look for this step:

QUOTE
    Wait for at least 2 mins for the whole process to complete
    After flashing, there is no webgui to access since the trunk build does not comes with any webgui

Launch PuTTY, choose Telnet mode to login to the device


This is the part you need to pay attention after you had successfully flash the openwrt firmware.

Hope to heard good news from you icon_rolleyes.gif

Now I am stuck at connecting Lan link to Wan of the router to get internet access.  How to do that ?

By now, I finally managed to set most of the stuff up with OpenWRT, with fast downloading speed etc.  Just that despite the proper set up, I still cannot make the IPTV works.
