Upgrading Fon with FonFlash

Post by ThaDraGun »

I currently have DD-WRT v24 RC-6 (01/02/08) std on my Fon 2100 router. I have been trying to figure out how to set up a wireless bridge for quite some time. Whatever I do I just cant figure it out.
I've tried updating my router to see if that would help. First I tried updating throught the dd-wrt web interface and that didnt work. It always says it updated sucessfully, but there is no change. Ive tried upgrading to a couple different versions already with no luck.

Others suggested using FonFlash instead. Im not having any luck with it either.

"Reading image file C:\Users\MyPC\Downloads\fon-flash-windows\fonera-firmware.bin with 6905884 bytes, rounded to 0x006a0000
No packet.
No packet.
No packet.

It just keeps saying that.
The fon is connected directly to ethernet port. I have installed winPcap and I have windows 7 x64

Any ideas?

Read this.

I suspect its the new TCP/IP stack giving you issues in Windows 7

Vista and 7 have upgraded the TCP/IP stack, which does some weird
stuff to the ethernet port on your computer.

Any way you can try fon-flash on a windows XP machine?

Other option

Throw a switch between the computer and the Fonera.
