I have 5.1 of the linksys firmware and I successfully installed dd-wrt micro, the deal is my connection is slow to a crawl and I want to revert my firmware back to the original
I downloaded what seemed to be a reversion but I'm curious if this contains the original linksys firmware.

For the WRT54G v5, v5.1, and v6 ONLY
1- Download dd-wrt.v23_wrtgsV5V6-revert-MAC.bin
2- Download the latest Linksys firmware for your router from http://www.linksys.com.
3- In the DD-WRT Administration/Firmware? Upgrade tab, select and apply the dd-wrt.v23_wrtgsV5V6-revert-MAC.bin firmware you extracted in step 1.
4- DO NOT TOUCH YOUR ROUTER. DO NOT POWER DOWN YOUR ROUTER. IF YOU DO, YOU MAY/WILL BRICK YOUR ROUTER.
5- After a few minutes (have patience) your router will reboot itself and the VxWorks boot loader's Management Mode will be engaged. You can visit it at http://192.168.1.1. If the browser doesn't respond, WAIT LONGER. Do not power off your router.
6- In the Management Mode, select and apply the Linksys firmware you downloaded in step 2. DO NOT apply vxworks killer instead, even if you want to go back to linux again right away. You must first apply a Linksys firmware to re-initialize the flash before you can go back to linux.
7- Power cycle the router after you see 'Success'.

This is almost correct, just remember this is the manual revert, so you will need to telnet in change to the /etc/bsptools directory and set your mac's and serial. _________________ Want JTAG support - Donate a router
