Prep and Killer Notes for the Linksys WRT54G2V1


------ VxWorksPrep-G2V1 & VxWorksKiller-G2V1.bin ---------

Get and install Linksys tftp.exe or equivalent.

1. Reset the router to defaults on the Linksys Admin page, and let it reboot
or manually reboot it after its finished.

2. Set your computer to a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and 255.255.255.0 for a mask 
and plug ethernet cable into LAN port of the G2v1 unit.

3. Close all browser windows. Start Linksys's tftp.exe utility, set IP to 192.168.1.1 
and browse to the VxWorksPrep-G2V1.bin file, enter password = admin, and click Upgrade. 
Wait 60 seconds for it to reboot on its own, if it does not, then powercycle the router 
manually.

4. Don't open any browser windows. Again start Linksys's tftp.exe utility, and browse to 
the VxWorksKiller-G2V1.bin file, enter password = admin, and click Upgrade. Wait 
2 min for it to reboot on its own, if it does not, then powercycle the router 
manually.

5. Tftp the DD-WRT firmware to the router, use "dd-wrt.v24-10709_NEWD_micro.bin" 
from the folder where you got these instructions;  after sucessful tftp, wait 3 min for 
the router to finish writing new nvram deafults, etc... It should reboot on it's own at 
least two times, so give it the 3 min and then goto http://192.168.1.1 (If it not reboots 
on its own, wait another 1 min, and then power cycle it)

6. When if finishes booting up...do a hard reset on the unit...let it boot again, 
and configure.

7. Don't forget to set your computer back to automatically obtaining DHCP and DNS.
