The WRT54G v8.1 behaves well once you succeed in flashing the first time using the special initial bin file already mentioned in this forum. Since then I have successfully upgraded using both micro and micro-plus builds. This model (v8.1) comes with the smaller 128k CFE so it has enough flash RAM for the slightly larger micro-plus bin file. I am currently running
dd-wrt.v24-10305_NEWD_micro-plus.bin
as a wireless client.

I was using the internet allday long yesterday with no problem but at night the connection lost, and did not reconnect... i was using a notebook, so i checked a pc near me and it was down to... tryed to connect at 192.168.1.1 to see what was happening and did not get it...
so i checked the wrt54g, the power led was down, the dmz and the wlan too and the "cisco system" button is off too. i turned it off and on again and nothing happens, just the ethernet lights are on, i can only
check my ethernet, pc to pc is ok, wireless is off and
internet is off.

It was not a power problem. the power led and dmz led and the wlan was not on.
i found a forum saying to set manualy the ip to 192.168.1.100 and try to conect to 192.168.1.1, there was no aswer but i can ping to 192.168.1.1 so it
said to use the tftp to send the .bin file to the router again.
I made this and the power led was back on.
My router is back thanks God and the forum.
Moshe where do i found the "dd-wrt.v24-10305_NEWD_micro-plus.bin "?
Hi. The dd-wrt.v24-9330_micro_wrt54gv81.bin version looks like instable to me.
How can I restore/reinstall the original firmware in 8.1 version ?
TKS !
But you are making a mistake. The -9330 version is special for the initial flash of the v8.1 . It is not the final working version. After loading that one, now update to a current version. I installed the TNG Eko 10404 Micro-plus successfully on wrt54Gv8.1

I used the dd-wrt.v24-9330_micro_wrt54gv81.bin like said in 3rd page.
I know I have now to upgrade using dd-wrt.v24-9330_micro.bin but when I try to click in any link in DD control panel, I need to put a USERNAME and PASSWORD, I have tried ADMIN, ROOT, BLANK, uppercase, lowercase, NOTHING works.
When I press Cancel, shows a msg saying the password in root, but doesnt work.
What can I do?
I installed the TNG Eko 10404 Micro on my router. Sometimes the router stop working, and I need do mannualy power off and power on again (after a couple seconds).
I did a master reset and tried to restore the Original firmware, but just "UPDATE FAIL". I've tried a TFTP of the original firmware, but I got the same error. How can I restore the Original firmware with safety and sucess ?
I have the same problem with wendiko:
The router doesn't respond after disconnect.
I cann't access it at 192.168.1.1
Can I restore to original version ?
