I have a Actiontec MI424WR Router and I am trying to upgrade the firmware on it, though when I download either -- actiontec-mi424wr-firmware.bin or linux.bix -- on all Rev. I've tried and each time I try to upgrade I get the (Bad upgrade file signatures..)
Any Fix to this? Or Tutorial on how to upgrade the firmware if I am doing it wrong.

Id like to bump this thread simply because I dont see any other information and all google searches lead here. I read the wiki which goes through the whole installation of dd-wrt through redboot but there is also a webflash version that you would expect would also work but comes up with what the OP said about bad signatures. Is there no use for the webflash version and should I just go through the whole redboot installation instead? Just figured it would be worth asking since it would be great if you could just webflash it.
Webflash method seems Hopelessat this point. I successfully flashed my Actiontec MI424WR Ver. D router last night using the Redboot method. Follow the instruction very carefully or you could be in for a long day. (If you are not familiar with using a command prompt, get some basic knowledge) Good luck!

But now I cannot telnet to the router at all the power light is orange but when connected to ports I get green lights on them. I attempted to reflash redboot and get
Code:
C:\Python26>python jungo-image.py -p password1 192.168.1.1 rb-mi424wr-ROM.bin
Unable to establish telnet session to 192.168.1.1: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the con
nected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because conne
cted host has failed to respond
any ideas?
EDIT: Not sure exactly what happened but for some reason I was able to connect to redboot via the lan port instead of the wan port even though I have rev.C and not D. I have the router up and running. Now to figure out how to set it up as a VPN server off of my modem. Thanks!
i got the same error as everyone when using the webtool in the router.
mine is Rev F. the wikki doesnt mention anything about rev F. can anyone help?
currently on fw 20.10.7.5. while the webtool says 30.20.8 available. force upgrade refuses with "Status: Bad upgrade file signatures."
