#DD WRT DOWNLOAD FTP UPDATE#
Main page = - announcement would be nice because now I wouldnt find the update without your post. Is dd-wrt an abandoned project? 2 years without release?Īre these stable? why they are not announced on main page? what is their version number? here i see that the development is making progress.īut the latest downloadable compiled version is from Why are there no newer versions for download ? On the bottom of my router it says version 1.8.

#DD WRT DOWNLOAD FTP UPGRADE#
The hardware version and firmware version listed on my TP-Link firmware upgrade page were as follows.: I just used the TP-Link web GUI and it was all done in a few minutes. Listed as "TP-Link WR740N v1.0 Firmware: Special image for initial flashing factory-to-ddwrt.bin 3,75 MB" It seems great so far. I installed DD-WRT V24 PreSP2 beta build 15778. I just decided to go ahead with it and flash my TP-Link TL-WR740N router, and it went beautifully and very smoothly. Posted: Wed 4:33 Post subject: My first DD-WRT flash I just want to make sure that's what I have to do before I do anything that I can't undo. Other than that, my assumption is that I can just simply flash the factory image or "killer" image from my router's firmware upgrade page, and then DD-WRT is installed. Should there be something here, or is it just a case that there are only notes here if there are known problems with installation? However, I do not find my router there, or any routers by TP-Link. Next on the installation wiki, it tells me to go to the hardware specific page to look for specific details about installation. So I guess the factory image is what you guys call the "killer" image, right? It appears I was correct in my previous post in that I should flash with the factory image first. However, it is listed under WR740N, not TL-WR740N. I then went here and managed to find my router. So, because I'm not using a Broadcom chipset, I'm assuming it should be smooth sailing, is that right?
#DD WRT DOWNLOAD FTP INSTALL#
The router I want to install this on is an Atheros AR7240 CPU chip with an Atheros 9285 wireless NIC. It said that I should check the Peacock thread here, This thread says it's for Broadcom SoC only.

Now that I sort of know what file I've got to use, I went to the installation wiki These photos might give others an idea of the expected differences between v1.0 and v2.0. However, they don't specifically list the TP-Link TL-740N. I really like their documentation, it's quite comprehensive. Here are some photos of the different versions of hardware. Since I was having so much trouble with DD-WRT, I decided to look at OpenWRT. I'm going to look at the DD-WRT documentation a bit more. I have version a TP-Link TL-740N v1.8 so I guess I'll just have a to take a small chance to see if it works ok. The only thing that would be better is if BS just posts the hash for each revision he posts.Thanks pal! I think I need to flash the factory one first, right? It's called factory-to-ddwrt.bin At least that seems to be the sort of thing you need to do on OpenWRT. That might give people like me, who prefer BS builds, some level of assurance. While we cannot be 100% sure of the origin of a build if it’s malicious from day 0, a bunch of users submitting sha256 hashes, for example, will allow us to know if an unsolicited modification has been made by way of a DNS/redirect attack or repository break-in of some sort.Įxample: If 500 users who downloaded BS revision rXXXXX from the various repositories report the same hash and one day, that hash suddenly changes (maybe in addition to some wonky website behavior), we would be assured that there is, in fact, malicious activity taking place. My issue is this: a sudden attack or redirect or modified upload on ddwrt website on a build could go unnoticed by all users of BS builds. Besides, I have over 100 routers (some aren’t supported by Kong). Thanks but I think that’s an answer to a different question than what I was asking.
