Installation
NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only cables that should be attached to the device are the network cable to your computer and the power cable.
Warning: This unit MUST use K2.6 firmware.
Make sure you use a firmware with wrt610nv2 in the filename like the one below.
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24-K26/svn13575/dd-wrt.v24-13575_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_wrt610nv2.bin
a. Flash firmware through the Linksys WebGUI.
b. After a couple minutes you should see an "Update Completed Succesfully" Screen.
c. Wait...at least three minutes after that just to be safe.
d. Do a power cycle of the router. (Unplug the cord, count to 10 and plug it back in.)
e. Wait for the lights to return to normal, usually about 2 minutes.
f. Do a HARD reset. Wait. Check for the password page and login to change the password.
g. After you have DD-WRT on the router then you can flash a different firmware from this folder through the DD-WRT WebGUI.
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24-K26/svn13575/
Make sure that you do not flash any build to your router that has the name of a different model router at the end of the filename.
Recovery (Unbricking)
A simple way to recover a bricked device is:
- unplug all ethernet ports (Important!)
- unplug power
- plug power in
- wait 2-2.5 seconds
- press the reset button and keep it pressed for 5 seconds, then release it
- reconnect ethernet (DHCP shoud give IP address to computer)
- point your browser at 192.168.1.1. You should see a "Management Firmware update" screen where you can flash the original (Linksys) firmware.
