I have 4 of the damn things . I'm not a big fan of soldering and making my own cables tbh , I've made a few nullmodem cables and boot switches for my amiga back in the days when birds still walked on foot but would rather spend a bit of money for something pre made. Since there's not even a connector soldered on the board that isn't an option here either as far as I can see.
I am wondering if supporting the DWL-2100 with just flashing is even possible. I'm starting to think it's not from what I have been reading here and on the openwrt forums.
After being up a few hours Bonjour and other things like Airvideo on my phone stop working and they need a reboot . I have them set up at 2 different locations and it's the same story . Any replacement firmware would help me a lot in pinpointing what the exact issue is.. I just know my archaic philips SNA6600 works just fine ..
Is the cable described on the Openwrt page linked in the post above made by vpritiskovic something standard ? Or is it something that has to be custom made ?
Binning the damn things and buying 4 new routers .. or spend a day soldering breathing in lead fumes and resin ... sigh.
Please DD-WRT for DWL2100, the original soft is shit.
If you have read the openwrt wiki page for DWL-2100AP from the link vpritiskovic provided 5 posts up, then you may understand the difficulty in replacing the original firmware with another firmware.
dd-wrt must have a user friendly install procedure since most of its user are totally unable to do anything else than a web flash.
99% of dd-wrt users would brick their routers if they have to replace the boot loader and 2 out of 3 have no idea how to attach a serial ttl console.
If you belong to the other 1% then you are also knowledgeable enough to get openwrt working on the dwl-2100.
I can't see a dd-wrt version ever coming. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
LOM, tanks for yor anser, I understand your difficulty and appreciate your work, I use DD-WRT in several AP´s /Routers
I know how to attach a serial ttl console, or Jtag,I am electronic technician
Ok, openwrt work on DWL2100! I've read a lot about OpenWRT, and did not understand very much, maybe I'm dumb.
I need a easy manual about OpenWRT, my DWL2100 is Rev A4

Hi!
If only you have searched the openwrt forum...
Anyway read carefully this post and I suggest you should read all the posts in that topic (if needed twice) from the beginning on. You should focus on the redboot for the desired hw rev.
and there is no working redboot loader for it, therefore I think the first step should be compiling the 'universal' microredboot for all hw revisions, don't you think?
I am ready to test - I have serial adapter @ the AP. _________________ DD-WRT v24-sp2 (01/21/12) std - build 18613 @SX763 DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/12/12) std - build 20119 @WZR-HP-G300NH (b0 b0)
2) Micro redboot
- I don't have a j-tag so I cannot test the loader(s) and that still needs to be done for comfortable flashing form stock firmware webIF.
- Since I have flashed my DWL-2100 with normal redboot loader compiled just for my flash chip I have tried (chainloaded) all micro redboot (RAM version) that can be downloaded from your ftp server and none worked for me...
