You cannot update from AirOS to DD-WRT
You need to flash to it.
Also look at the store for pricing.
Flashing>>>>>This is used with the RS and RS-PRO
should be close for the bullet as well.
This should get it done for you. It sounds more complicated then it actually is.
You can actually assign your windows machine the correct static IP,
something like 192.168.1.30.
You can then put the RS in upgrade mode by holding down the little button as your turn it on.
You would then tftp the firmware.
Here is a copy and paste of something more in detail.
Quote:
Assign your tftp host with a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 with 24bit
subnet mask (255.255.255.0).
Using the command line interface (CLI) to tftp the image will work fine.
Get a command shell ready to go with the
tftp command(on windows c:\>tftp -i 192.168.1.20 put RS.dd-wrt.bin) (RSx.ar7100.OpenWrt.r15349M-BETA-upgrade.bin) in this example,
the DD-WRT image is located in the root of C drive.
It's advisable to use a switch or hub since you will need to switch the
tftp host interface to the LAN1 port after pushing the DD-WRT image thru
the WAN interface of the Ubiquity Routerstation (ubntRS).
Connect tftp host to switch/hub.
Get a second command shell ready & start continuous ping of the
WAN interface of the ubntRS (c:\>ping 192.168.1.20 -t)..
.connect the "data" side of PoE to your switch/hub..
.have the PoE side ready to plug into ubntRS..
.Hold the reset button on the ubntRS & connect to PoE and
continue holding reset button for 10seconds & then release.
A couple of seconds later you will see ICMP echo (ping) from
the ubntRS in the command window on 192.168.1.20 &
this is when you should now issue the tftp command as listed above.
It will take a few seconds for the tftp image to push to the ubntRS
but it will let u know if successful.
Once the DD-WRT image is transfered ubntRS will lose ICMP echo (reply)
as seen in your continuous ping command shell.
Without power cycle of ubntRS, you can move your tftp host to the LAN1 interface of the
ubntRS.
It will take about 5minutes for the image to reboot on the ubntRS..
.while thats happening, you can start another ping on
the LAN1 interface with "c:\>ping 192.168.1.1 -t" and once you get replies
you should be able to use your browser to access the DD-WRT firmware web interface.
Here's a couple of notes:
if you have any "cached" DD-WRT credentials from this ubntRS or
any other DD-WRT device that you have worked with on this computer,
you might get the jacked up "black & white" DD-WRT login page..
.simply access the interface with the full URL & you should
get in "http://192.168.1.1/index.asp"..
.remember, this DD-WRT image requires activation...happy flashing....cheers...;-} _________________ Mitch
Can you explain how is the activation procedure is working.
What is it exactly??
When my dd-wrt is done in my Bullet I am not able to use it, until I registrate it?
What is the different the activated, and non activated mode??
After purchase log into dd_WRT on the bullet and copy the key out and paste it into the activation window
https://secure.dd-wrt.com/site/professional/activation
click activate
then copy the key out of activation back into the DD-WRT on the bullet and click on activate
the bullet will reboot and your done _________________ Mitch
