and now my internet does not work when my router is hooked up... I think I heard some people talking bout dd-wrt here... so anyone know what the problem is?
 
You have to flash the correct version. I am using DD-WRT on my linksys router right now.

What is the model of your router?
 
Do you ever NOT HAVE problems with your computer??
 
The wrt54g pre v5 is not the same as post v4. You wind up bricking your router if you're not cautious.

I have a v6 wrt54g and haven't yet modded just because I don't have another one handy to replace it with.
 
I just received a letter from Mike and he said he's OK and he asked me to write down all the responses to this thread and then airmail it back to him.

Next time you write to Danny, tell him to pull out the documentation for his router, and read how to do a factory reset. Usually it can be done by pressing and holding down a small button on the back of the router for 20 seconds. You will usually need a pen or pencil to press the button down.

I am mike.... lol, I read about the factory reset, and did it like 10 times (hold the restet button for 30sec, than unplug while still holding etc.) and when flashing the router I followed a guide, and flashed the right version..

Yeah, I meant mike, but was thinking danny because I had just read his my keyboard is broke thread.

You bricked your router somehow when you flashed dd-wrt. Don't unplug it, but do the factory reset with the router power plugged in. If that doesn't work, I am out of ideas.

Have any building projects? You've got one more brick for the job ...

Look on the back of your 850. Does it have a ver number on it somewhere? Normally rt by the serial ...
 
When I scan with my psp, it picks up the signal, but when I connect to it, it says DNS error... I can get on the router settings, by going to 192.168.1.1... No way it is totally bricked.
 
Check your wiring.
Did you mess with the settings?

no, on the settings theres a way to reset factory defaults, so I didn't do anything... my wiring is correct 100% sure, otherwise I wouldn't be able to connect to my router settings.
 
Does that help?

Flashing DD-WRT on Motorola WR850G (version 1)

*** Version 1 Routers ONLY *** (2 piece power supply)
FCC ID: F2NWR850G

You have to Flash to Motorola 6.14.

Reset to factory defaults.

Download the Mini_Moto build of DD-WRT and change the extension of the .BIN file to .TRX

Flash this file via the Moto GUI interface.

Wait 2-3 mins after flash it completed.

Power cycle router and it should work, should still be at 192.168.10.1

DO NOT FLASH THE FULL STANDARD VERSION ON THE VERSION 1 UNITS, IT WON'T FIT! Stick with the Mini_Moto build!
 
Mike is right. He can connect to the router, and the router can connect to the internet, but his router now has a corrupted OS. You have to go back to factory default to get it going again. I have heard crazy stories of routers being permanently bricked by a bad OS flash.

how do I get back to factory default? just by holding reset button for 30 seconds while plugged in?
 
dd-wrt.v23_mini_moto.bin ... just like it says to do in the guide

"Even though DD-WRT v23 SP1 and later knows about the hardware it is being installed on, you risk bricking the router when restoring defaults!"
 
Version 2

if all else fails.


I just flashed a wr850 ver 2 to the DD-WRT v23 final (12/25/05) and the following process worked beautifully:

»wrt-wiki.bsr-clan.de/index.php?t···a_WR850G

Quick summary:

Reset to factory defaults
Flash to Motorola 6.14
Flash to dd-wrt.v23_mini_moto.bin
Reset to factory defaults

*optional step
Flash the generic VOIP, VPN or Standard dd-wrt.v23 firmware.

I'm using mine in front of a Vonage router so went with the VOIP image after the mini-Moto image for QoS and SIP options. The page above has links to all of the files you will need.
 
wow all of a sudden I can't get access to my router settings :(

Whoops. Well he fucked up the flash anyway, so he has no other option than trying to do a factory restore.

IF you get into settings again ... and IF you didn't do the firmware upgrade ... download and install this firmware. Looks like the quarterback is toast though Mike.

If you read this thread in this forum, they did manage to get one up and running again. It was more than I'd have done though ... pin shorting, board work. I'm happy to do mod work but not experimental stuff when I don't even know electronics in the first place. I'd save my self the time and just buy a new one and start over.
