I've been reading trough the incompatibilities list
Quote:
There are various points where you can see if your device will not be supported even if your router isn't listed here! A router can not be supported by dd-wrt if:
* it is based on a Texas Instruments (TI) chipset
* it is based on a Marvell chipset (maybe in the future?)
* it is based on a Ubicom chipset
* it is based on a Realtek chipset
* it is based on a Broadcom 63xx chipset
* it is based on a Freescale chipset
* it has <2MB flash
* it has <4MB flash and is NOT Broadcom (any part)
* it has VOIP ports (RJ-9) other supported vendor) based
* it has <16MB RAM and is NOT Broadcom (any other supported vendor) based
* it has an integrated modem (dd-wrt is router firmware and does not support the modem
And i can't find anything that includes this chip in the incompatible list, it could related to my knowledge deficiency in this area but if anyone can confirm or deny the inclusion of this chip in the before mentioned list i would be grateful.
birdienofly, thank you for the link to the original firmware, i couldn't find it with my google search, i managed to bring the router back to life.
If you want to have a dd-wrt router right now, take it back and buy something that is supported right now.
I tried every documented way to flash dd-wrt on this HW revision without success. I don't know if it will recieve dd-wrt support in the future but it doesn't seem to work atm.
Yea, seems like a nice device and it was quite cheap here.
Here's hoping
PS: I tried to edit this page: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/D-Link_DIR-600_/_300vB
in order to include a warning that dd-wrt does not work in this hardware revision(b5) but i don't seem to have the required access nor i can register an account for the wiki.
Can anyone else do it please? It would save lots of people some trouble i guess.
Will some of the devs let us know if there's any plans to support DIR-600 rev.B5 routers?
At least to know if I should buy it or not. I doesn't matter if I have to wait half a year for dd-wrt support, but at least to know if I ever will have the possibility to flash it on the router.
