Re: [Firmware] WRT54G - Language change, need "en_lang.bin" file Not on mine, its is just full of norton av stuff linksys bundled with the router at the time (different hardware version), the files seem to date around 2004. (Disc has been sitting in a drawer till now)
Have you seen this post (2nd last one)? »forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksy···id=14197
A user reports that he simple ignored the request and the router menus updated to English, again the hardware/firmware are different but if you haven't tried it yet it could be worth it.
Edit: Found one, though it does not match your hardware version or firmware.

kudos:1 | I did come across that thread last week but somehow skimmed over that particular post...
A user reports that he simple ignored the request and the router menus updated to English, again the hardware/firmware are different but if you haven't tried it yet it could be worth it. Hah! Believe it or not, THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!  All my menus are in English now, even after a factory reset. Yay!
Never noticed the "Save" and "Cancel" buttons below because they were in German, and unlike some words, not something that even slightly resembled their English counterparts (some parts of the menus I could make sense of, even though I don't speak German).
Tried that one last week. It won't work, the firmware and language pack are specifically for the Linksys WRT54-GL. No matter, just ignoring the request to load a language pack and clicking "save" (or außer in German) did the trick! It's all good now.
Thanks for pointing that out! Tried the router and it's working fine! Not sure what I'll do with it since I already have a v2.0 running Tomato though.  |

| Glad it worked,
Version 6 is somewhat limited in functionality (8MB ram, 2 MB flash), thought it can run some 3rd party firmware (DD-WRT micro) the feature set is limited due to the lack of ROM space. In its current state it does have removable antennas which can be useful, and with the wireless & routing features off can be a 4 port switch. Now that you don’t need to know German to use it you could sell it to a much larger market.
Change firmware and you can configure it as a wireless client, very useful if you need intranet/Internet access and you don't have a long enough cable at hand. Keeping it preconfigured to connect to your wireless network means you can let a house guest make use of your wireless without given them the encryption key (ok it is not as sleek as a USB wireless stick but it gets the job done). |
