Stuck with DD-WRT :-(

[frankmehta]

I installed DD-WRT on my WRT-54G2, and I am quite sick of it.

I want my original firmware back.

Googled and tried looking around. But I don't seem to find any solution.

What to do? How to get rid of it?

Are you sure you want to revert back?

Think about it...

The procedure is as follows:

Open the unit.

Solder a specialized connector onto the PCB

Order, buy and use a special cable to connect to this connector

Flash original firmware.

If you are pissed with ddwrt would recommend a try with tomato.

Have been using it for more than 2 years.

Nope thats plain rubbish, just download the latest tomato i.e. 1.24 i guess it just released today. You can download it from Tomato Firmware | polarcloud.com

And you can directly upgrade it from your dd-wrt to tomato. I dont think there should be any issues.

But will it work with WRT-54G2?? The website only says it works with 54G! :huh: :S

Thanks for the link btw!

no m8 u r screwed. wrt54g2 has too little flash memory (2mb) to support tomato. stick to the dd wrt project and keep trying builds as they come, else... buy a new one!

IMHO its not worth doing all that soldering and cable making to restore the unit to stock. u cant claim warranty after doing all that anyways.

Also in the older wrt54g we never had to solder or do anything to revert to stock, it was plain and easy.

Thanks a lot for the info man!

I guess i'll have to stick with dd-wrt(for now )

Dont worry too much, I have 54g2 with dd wrt too, so when I get an easier fix, will post up.
