i've got GS V4 and the Flash size is onli 4MB, but the flash file size from ddwrt website all in excess 4MB, how does it going to fit in there..

even GS V3 or earlier has 8MB flash

pls advice...

does the OS of the router execute directly from the flash memory or its uncompressed into the memory (RAM) and then run there ? coz AFAIK the OS in the flash is compressed.

so for a 16MB RAM WRT54GS, the effective memory available would be less than 16MB as the OS is occupying the space.

pls advice.

lets say i've flash to this mini... and then i want to flash it back to the original firmware.. not a problem right?

Firmware: DD-WRT v23 SP1-RC5 is not that stable

slow web interface, and when i try to disconnect the broadband connection in the status -> router page, the router reboot*... what the!

*update: the router actually disconnected the wireless connection..( i onli notice after checking the uptime on the router)

is that a bug or a feature for dd-wrt?


but this problem does not happen with thibor15c + GS.v4

so i'll stick with thibor15c for now

i changed to the SP1 final std

and i notice there is excessive? amount of error on wireless transmits while zero errors on receive.



is this normal?

u can try this method.... technically it should work

of coz if ur modem and the router uses the same IP, eg. 192.168.1.1 then you should configure either ur modem or router with anohter ip.. eg 192.168.1.2

after this u should be able to access ur modem (192.168.1.1) and ur router (192.168.1.2)

i just bought my WRT54GS V4 from mtech midvalley.. abt rm280. 2 weeks ago..

can ddwrt has more than 1 wireless ssid for different security level???

its a hassle.. coz my computer uses WPA-PSK while my NDS uses onli WEP protocol.. and not to mention my pda onli support WPA-TKIP

how does dd-wrt calculates its memory??

Total Available 13.8 MB / 16.0 MB

Free 2.6 MB / 13.8 MB

Used 11.2 MB / 13.8 MB

Buffers 1.4 MB / 11.2 MB

Cached 4.4 MB / 11.2 MB

Active 3.2 MB / 11.2 MB

Inactive 2.6 MB / 11.2 MB

====================

my router has 16mb ram, but how come it has 13.8 available.. and out of this 2.6mb is free.

and what happens to the portion sitting from 13.9 to 16mb??

please advice on the terms used like buffers, cached, active,inactive..

i just found this.. how true is this??

http://www.bitsum.com/about-ddwrt.htm

for ddwrt.. when u disconnect PPPOE.. it will drop the wifi..

it happens to me every time.. so now i'm using wired connection...

i bricked my router b4, still pingable but the power light keeps on flashing

so i download ori firmware from linksys website, then powercycle the router, once the pinging start replying.. i immediately execute "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT firmwarefile.bin"

and it works for me..!!!

its not the power adapter issue, its the firefox thing.. current firefox could not properly update the firmware. causing the router to brick.

read it somewhere in ddwrt wiki
