I'm a little confused. The wiki install wants you to read the peacock thread, but then the peacock thread keeps mentioning broadcom. My router is Atheros, not broadcom, do I still need to read all of peacock?
The Supported Devices pagehttp://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Encore lists the ENHWI-N3 (close, but not quite mine), so I think it could work, but then http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware-specific doesn't have anything by Encore listed. So what steps should I follow? The supported devices page just says (and this is for ENHWI-N3, not ENHWI-N2) to use "ESR9752 v.24 sp2 - build 12527 - 20090720" -- ESR is never mentioned in the install wiki, install wiki just talks about BS, NEWD, VINT, etc... What is ESR then?
The board in my Encore ENHWI-N2 was stamped "21514632BRPA1A2" - indicating that it is a TEW-652BR. I had success loading dd-wrt firmware for the TEW-652BR [b]v1.1[/b] using these instructions:
Connect the router directly into your PC, and set your ip to 192.168.0.X manually. Do a 30/30/30 reset and then connect to the device’s system firmware update utility in a web browser at 192.168.0.1. Upload the firmware and let the unit reset.
The version code from the latest 632BRP firmware is AP81-AR9130-RT-070614-00 if you need to modify.

Thanks for the info.
I was able to get to the firmware update utility using the 30/30/30 directions. Unfortunately it claims every firmware I tried was for the wrong hardware.
I tried various tew632brp, tew652brp, and dir615_revC files and none seemed to work.
Just to be clear - my unit is the same as the original poster. Same FCC ID, and it seems same rev#'s on the board (and same Rev on the sticker - A2), same chips etc
Sorry for the lack of details prior.
I am curious if cjake had the same Rev since it seems they were able to use the stock image.
