Hi
I read the posts here and I'm a little confused.
Can the Giga762sx be flashed?
Is it flashed with a new bootloader, then with dd-wrt webflash image?
What options does it provide that are different than the original firmware?
I have not yet seen what makes dd-wrt different.
I am currently using a Huawei E960 3G Wireless router, and the Giga762sx.
I am able to use WDS, but not the wired ports on the Giga router. The 3G is the main router. The DSL/Internet portion on the Giga is turned off.
I have internet access on the Wifi portion, but the LAN ports don't have internet.
The Huawei only has Bridge/WDS and AP mode.
If I select Bridge/AP, I cannot see the device.
In AP mode the Giga works fine, just not practical, and no 3G signal where the wired ports are needed.
I want to use the LAN ports on the Giga. Not bothered with the LAN ports on the Huawei.
Still trying to find more info on what DD-WRT is and does.
Starting from stock 2.3.52.2.00 fw I'm trying to load the dd-wrt 03-19-12-r18777 but something goes wrong at the first step. When I try to flash the preflash_bootloader.img file (2nd bootloader) I receive the following popup message:
"The firmware file could not be uploaded to the device. Please meke sure you are using the correct file".

I tried flashing dd-wrt twice, on first attempt ADSL didn't work (adsl status always down), went back to stock (annex a) fw just to be sure and it worked there. Yesterday flashed back dd-wrt and now both ADSL and wifi don't work

Any ideas about that?
This excerpt worries me:
