So using the "sysupgrade" image here was the correct choice. For your wifi issue, you should try the newest Backfire release (rc4), as the WZR-HP-G300NH is relatively new: http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1-rc4/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin [9] Regards, Layne Links: ------ [1] http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/buffalo/wzr-hp-g300h?s%5B%5D=table|+|amp|+|s%5B%5D=hardware#migrate.from.dd-wrt.to.openwrt [2] http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin [3] http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/obtain.firmware.download [4] http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/docs/openwrt.html#x1-120001.2.2 [5] mailto:[email protected] [6] mailto:[email protected] [7] mailto:[email protected] [8] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users [9] http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1-rc4/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
