[edit] INSTRUCTIONS
Flashing a virgin WRT350N with the default Linksys firmware will require a special "trailed" mini-build to be flashed first. You should use a build linked in number 3, below, for the initial flash. The name of this file specifically is "dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt350n.bin". You may proceed to flash it with a generic build next, such as Mega.bin. Remember to do the 30/30/30 Hard Reset after every successful flash. It is absolutely essential.
The proper process for flashing is:
- Read the Peacock announcement, especially Note 1, 3, and 4.
- Download the trailed build, with the model in file name: (14929) dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt350n.bin
- Hard reset the router. You will not get a password renewal page as you still have stock Linksys firmware.
- Plug a cable into the LAN port of the router and your computer, and disable any wireless to the computer. Disable antivirus protection. (Setting your computer to a static IP should not be required)
- Set your browser to 192.168.1.1. This will open up the Linksys webgui
- Enter the username "admin" and password "admin"
- Go to the "administration" tab. Click on "firmware upgrade".
- BROWSE to the dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt350n.bin, the file you downloaded.
- Click on the "upgrade" button and WAIT for the "upgrade successful" message. Wait at LEAST 5 minutes
- Power cycle your router (very important): WAIT until you can login at 192.168.1.1
- Do another hard reset (very important): WAIT until you can login at 192.168.1.1
- Click on any tab. Reset your username/password by TYPING in a new username/password
- Configure your router
You can now upgrade to any generic DD-WRT build except micro. Power cycle followed by another hard reset after flashing, and NEVER restore a backup configuration file from a different build, type, or router. Manually reconfigure after setting a password.
