problems with upgrade to 1.3.4
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 2:26 pm
I have a WRT54G v2 which used to have DD-WRT. I upgraded it yesterday using the DD-WRT gui to the new 1.3.4
The reflashing seemed initially to have worked, but I have two (related?) major problems that I have subsequently found.
Problem 1: When I power on the router, it ignores the cable-connected Windows laptop. No matter how long I wait, the laptop does not get an IP address. When I move the Cat5 cable to another of the four router Ethernet sockets, I then get my DHCP lease.
Problem 2: I can log into the Gargoyle 1.3.4 gui using the default “password”. But once I am in, I am unable to change any of the settings. Or rather I can change them, then click the “Save Changes” button, but nothing is actually changed. I can not change the default password, or the router name, or turn on wireless.
I suspect there may be some old configuration left over from DDWRT which is messing everything up. How can I reset everything to “virgin configuration bits” and start from scratch?
I should mention that I am already running Gargoyle 1.2.3 on another router, and I find the UI so refreshingly nice compared to any other consumer grade router GUI. Great work!
