DD-WRT v24 SP1 installed on WRT54GL successfully... sort of....
Here's how I installed:
1. Factory reset inside web interface of Linksys firmware
2. Upload dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin
3. Got upload complete, and waited 5 minutes
4. Did another factory reset (this time on the back of the router, held down reset with a pin for 30 seconds)
5. Ended up with power LED blinking indefinitely..... (So at this point, I was like oh S#!t I might have killed my brand new WRT54GL)
6. I unpluged router's A/C, and plugged it back in. Waited for the "Power LED blinking" to stop (it stopped in 15 seconds).
7. Accessed 192.168.1.1, root:admin, w00t it worked! I saw the DD-WRT config page.
8. Went to administration, and upgraded to dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin
9. Waited about 10 minutes after that (it went to DD-WRT main page automatically, but I still waited while it already said the firmware name text on the top of the page).
10. I finally decided to do another factory reset via Pin, and bam, same thing happened as before. So I did same thing as before. I did the final factory reset with the web interface before I started configuring it. Seems to "work fine" now.
Yeah so... what caused the indefinite blinking? Obviously the router didn't die. And it barely feels warm. |

instead of looking at the physical lights did you attempt to connect to the roooter to see if it was up? |

| Yeah, I tried going to »192.168.1.1 while it was still flashing after 4 minutes... and I got nothing. However, I could ping it.
At that point, I was scared, because those were the symptoms of a bricked router. |

You don't need to flash mini or micro first on the GL model. Save a step next time, or use Micro since it is faster, unless you can identify something in the standard version that you need. |

I use the mini, there is nothing in the std version I need. I actually just finished the upgrade a couple minutes ago. »[HyperWRT] WRT54GL and DD-WRT
Is there a specific feature you need that is only available in the std ver? If not, why bother?
