Hi,

I'm trying to install dd-wrt firmware for PS5-Ext through GUI & tftp but no luck.I have used ubnt_ps5-firmware.bin file for GUI and PS5.dd-wrt.bin for tftp.

GUI error: bad image.
Tftp error: cannot connect.

Pc: Windows Vista laptop

Any hint what i might be doing wrong.

Many thanks,

Abuaisha.

Make sure you have the correct image
two images available
one for flask
one for web interface upgrade

Then make sure TFTP is working
To perform the Factory Firmware Recovery Procedure, you will need to be able to use the tftp protocol in a command line in a DOS window. This is already enabled in XP. For Vista users, you need to activate the TFTP client first. To do that please follow the following steps:

1. Click the Start button.
2. Select the Control Panel button.
3. Find the "Programs and Features" option and select this.
4. From the left hand side you will select the option "Turn Windwos Features on or off"
5. A popup window will appear, and from here you will scroll down to TFTP Client and then click "OK".

It might take a few minutes for your system to activate the service. This client will boot with Windows from now on until you go back and turn it off. Now you are ready to go to a DOS window and tftp the firmware to a device.



Then here are the directions we use for RS and RS-PROs
they should work with NS as well
just use the correct firmware for the NS
here is the link to the latest try this and if not then try r13064

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...;-}
