Here is a slightly cleaned up version of the directions for 8.09.2: Download the openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin firmware image from the brcm-2.4 folder to your PC. Source: https://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.2/brcm-2.4/openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin Open http://192.168.1.1/Upgrade.asp in your browser or manually go to http://192.168.1.1 → Administration → Firmware Upgrade Upload openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin Wait 2 minutes. The router will reboot itself automatically after the upgrade is complete (the DMZ light will start blinking when it reboots). The web interface luci is also available at http://192.168.1.1 Your router should also be telnettable at 192.168.1.1. Telnet is disabled and ssh is enabled once a password has been set.
Aaron Z A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
