I think a lot of ppl missed the the title of this thread. Version 8.1 of the Linksys WRT54G is different from the rest of the version routers. Anyway I got this working on my version 8.1 So far so good.

New files: use ...wrt54gv81.bin for initial upgrade from Linksys's firmware only, use normal micro (NEWD) image for GUI upgrade when already running dd-wrt.
OK just so I have all this clear.
From a fresh WRT54G V8.1. I reset the unit holding the reset and powerup the unit with the poer plug. The I upgrade the bin through the linksys web gui firmware upgrade page with bin "dd-wrt.v24-9330_micro_wrt54gv81.bin" then after the reboot, login to the router and go to the admin dd-wrt firmware update page and finally flash the bin " dd-wrt.v24-9330_micro.bin".
I would like to remove DD-WRT and go back to my old firmware. As much as I love DD-WRT and its feature packedness, I have noticed that my 8.1 keeps on disconnecting / has a lot of instability. Is there any way to revert to the stock firmware? I have tried using the linksys tftp tool and tried updating the firmware. The program apparently said it went through, but when I logged on into webauth, it gives me the dd-wrt screen.
I have tried "upgrade firmware" from the webauth screen, but every time I try, it gives me a Upgrade Failed! error.
