You will know what version you have if you flip over the router and look next to the serial number, if you DONT have v2 or version 2 next to the serial you have a version 1.

Hey Fractal,
I have a last question. Do I update the Firmware via the Browser (192.168.1.1) as an usual Firmware update, or have I to use an other method ? I'm afraid of bricking that thing, that is why I ask.

you would upgrade via the web interface at 192.168.1.1
make sure to give it good time to upgrade ect.. wait atleast 10 minutes after it says upgrade successful then u can uplug power and reboot the router and dd-wrt should be on it.
Hey, I just put v1 on my Router and yes, it worked like a charm.
My question is now, how can I extend my WLan range ?
I higher the TX-Power a bit to 100 mW - should be good - but didn't helped me much.
Hop you can help me.
Regards
Installed it, works good. I click upgrade firmware, and then it started to update it got to about 30% before a new screen popped up and it said router needs to reboot, i clicked continue and within 5 minutes total it finished up. I did a hard reset, and it works great now. I'm have version 2 of the router, and im wondering why it never said update complete for me. BTW i only installed Mini as i didnt see a need for the mega or big features.
What is a high enough TX value to raise the range some? i have it at 84.
So now I have it on 210mW and have a really good connection - for the place where I sit at home (across steel concrete 3m from etage 2 to 3).
Windows Network Signal Strength shows me 4 / 5 or 5 / 5 points - and my signal percentage is 81 to 83%.
Btw. I have version 1 - so you with the v2 may receive a better endeffect.
hello i had this yesterday, is it possible to revert it back to original firmware without jtag? i only want dd wrt because the access policy of the router sucks only limited to 5
