Can you guys give me a hand on going back to stock Linksys/Cisco Firmware? Can I flash over?

I always ran dd-wrt on my wrt54g and loved it. Thought I could live without the 5GHz band, but apparently not. Kinda unreal how nice it is now that I known how to utilize it.

Thanks in advance!

No frills - just flash stock FW - and be patient DO NOT interrupt.

Hello,

I want to flash dd-wrt on my E3200, and I landed on the wiki page with instructions for doing so:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E3200

However, this step confuses me:

Quote:
6. Wait 10 minutes until WLAN (wireless) light turns on.


Because this model has no WLAN light, as far as I can see. So how will I know how long to wait?

I've seen in this thread that the power button has more functions: it blinks when flashing, and doesn't blink when the router is fully booted. Can I assume it will stop blinking when this step is complete?

Quote:
The power led is multi-functional. It blinks differently depending on what it is doing. Basically, blinks slowly when the router is booting or being flashed. It is solid when running, and blinks quickly when doing a wps setup.


Or will it definitely be safe to continue to the next step after 10 minutes?

instead of using the "upgrade" command, use the "flash" command:

cfe> nvram erase [enter]

cfe> flash -ctheader : flash1.trx [enter]

launch your tftp utility. flash the stock firmware. be fast. it will time out after it listens for the tftp flash 5 times.

when back at the cfe prompt after the flash is complete, power cycle the router.

EDIT: The router will boot two times, sometimes three after nvram is erased.

tried, but same result. thanks. Smile

Hello all,
Does anyone know if 5GHz will be supported on E3200 on future releases of DD-WRT?

Read. I think it has been said numerous times that the manufacturer hasn't released the drivers, and once they are, if they ever are, then probably.

Translated don't hold your breath waiting for 5ghz.

Fractal and the like would work on it but they lack the driver to do so.

Looks hopeless then. Looks like I lost the bet and should have gotten the e3000

I recently got a E3200 and I was doing some testing. I noticed that in the build 19519(big) I cannot find the options to setup rflow. I looked up and down through the service tab and it's not there, I also checked around in other tabs but also missing, can anyone confirm this? On the features list it's present. Maybe it's missing on th gui and I can set it up via SSH?

Another thing I noticed was that I cannot manager the router with Fx 14.0.1 (save, apply and firmware upgrade don't work). I got it working with IE 9 but what is interesting when I connect through a different router:
PC->Wlan<-Router1->LAN<-E3200 I can use Fx to manage Smile

Holding my fingers crossed that Cisco or Broadcom will finally share the drivers.

Sooner or later I'll need the 5GHz-Band.
What do you guys think, should I sit and wait or buy another Router?

Finding out at this late stage there is no 5 ghz support, and very possibly never any for 3rd party firmware, I too am disappointed.

Using stock firmware, does this router have issues with bittorrent, as in does it need to be powered down every few weeks for medium to heavy usage?

Besides better QOS, what's different between stock and 3rd party like tomato (for e3000)?

First of all: thumbs up for the ddwrt project. I'm running 3 routers, all using ddwrt. I love it.

I just bought a new linksys 3200 router. After some digging i found out that the 5Ghz isnt supported (yet). Not a real big deal for me, since i can live with the 2.4Ghz band.

But.... i really get bad DOWNLOAD performance using wireless in N-only mode(tested on different systems, with either the speedtest app and/or speedtest online version). Upload is fine, but the download is about 1Mbps. I did some fiddling with the detailed parameters but no difference there. I also tried different channels (although there isnst much interference from other AP's) which also didnt help. I've tried the stable and the latest developers release. No difference.

Switchting to G-only DOES help, to my surprise. Straight away to 10M download (which is fine). Anyone having the same problems and found a solution for it?

Greetx,
Jos

For me, with and without stock firmware, this thing has been an animal with P2P files. I am a heavy torrent guy. My old WRT310 was hanging and glitching from my P2P stuff. As soon as I upgraded to this router, those troubles disappeared.

Now I need 5GHz so I was trying to find an e4200 v1 but all I can get is the v2 pieces of garbage. I bought an Asus RT-66U and it is coming this week. My e3200 is going to go on the shelf as a backup just in case.
