[edit] Build Information
NOTE: [1] The E900 has 64 KB more than most 8MB routers: 8060928 bytes (7872 KB). Do not flash larger builds!
- Never use a build older than 18946, as E900 support was added then.
CAUTION: To avoid bricking, only use a trailed build (the file with the router name) for initial flash, and nv64k (or trailed) builds to upgrade!
- Some Linksys E-Series units use nv60k builds, the E900 uses nv64k builds.
- See: Where do I download firmware? for build links, and read the new build thread prior to flash.
[edit] Flashing instructions for the E900
- Read the Build Information and Peacock Announcement.
- Disconnect all cables and wireless clients.
- Hard reset (or GUI reset) the router
- Connect via LAN cable to the PC doing the flash.
- Log into Linksys Web Interface "Firmware Upgrade" page (default: 192.168.1.1)
- Flash a trailed build (with 'E900' in the file name) from the broadcom_K26 folder.
- 21676_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e900.bin is a known good initial flash build
- Wait 5 minutes to assure flash integrity.
- Power cycle by unplugging the E900 for 10 seconds.
- Plug the E900 back in and wait about 2 minutes until it finishes booting.
- Reset again. Another power cycle may be required after this, as noted by some forum users.
- Wait 3 minutes and log into web interface.
After initial flash, a K26 big, mega, or K3X build can be flashed for more features (newer or same version).
- For more info: "Cisco E900 - Trailing install". Only upgrade with nv64k or trailed builds.
[edit] LAN ports not working
This can affect several Linksys E-series routers.
- Go to Setup->VLANs
- Untick the boxes 1,2,3,4 in the VLAN 0 row
- Tick the boxes 1,2,3,4 in the VLAN 1 row
- Also set Assigned to Bridge LAN (in the VLAN 1 row)
- Apply Settings
[edit] Reverting to stock firmware
Download the stock firmware image from the manufacturer's website or here, reset the router back to defaults using a 30-30-30 hard reset, then flash the stock image from within the dd-wrt webgui. After 5 minutes it should finish, you will then need to do another 30-30-30 reset and then access the stock webgui @ 192.168.1.1
