WZR-HP-G300NH - Gargoyle -> DD-WRT
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 1:04 am
Some people have asked about this so I tried it myself.
It involves a few steps and a few downloads.
Download #1 - OpenWRT 10.03.1-rc4
http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03.1-rc4/ar71xx/
openwrt-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Get that image (its near the bottom)
Download #2 - Get one of the latest DD-WRT - MULTI images
for the WZR-HP-G300NH - and you have to hex-edit it.

Information on how to edit the DD-WRT bin file so that you
remove the first 28 bytes and have these 4 bytes at the start:
27 05 19 56
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have those 2 files downloaded - disconnect the
WAN cable from the router - just have a LAN hookup.
Open up the Gargoyle GUI - flash the OpenWRT 10.03.1-rc4
sysupgrade file - flash it and wait for about 5 mins
You may have to renew DHCP if you changed default settings.
After 5 mins - logon to 192.168.1.1 in a browser
Default logon is root - password is blank - login
Goto the Admin tab and choose to upgrade firmware, and now
choose the DD-WRT MULTI file that you hex-edited.
Once you upload it - it will come back with an MD5 checksum
and it will say its ready to flash - so hit ok/start and now
WAIT 10-15 minutes - LEAVE the router alone and do NOT close
the web browser - just leave the computer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, close the browser and visually check the
WZR-HP-G300NH - you should see a different light pattern than
what showed under Gargoyle / OpenWRT - that's good!
Now - refresh DHCP if necessary and login via web page
to 192.168.1.1 - and you can set default user/password
for DD-WRT and start configuring - or from here, you can
flash back to the default buffalo firmware.

Link to the other thread so that you can go from
DD-WRT -> Gargoyle / OpenWRT
Now you can go back/forth within about 20-30 minutes.
