I was trying to follow these instructions to the letter, posted on http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54GS_v7.0_%26_7.2

But when I got to step 7, to actually install the firmware, the browser times out each time.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. yes, I did try to do a search before posting. Can someone help?

I connected my ethernet cable from my computer, to an LAN port on the router.

No WAN cable is connected. Is it supposed to be? No matter because when I tried connecting it, it still didn't work...

Try using a different webbrowser.

Thank you for the tip, I was using chrome.

I also did some deeper research and it was suggested to also try resetting to factory settings (which I thought was done by performing the earlier steps, but apparently not) and by clearing the browser cache.

I haven't tried it yet but I'm adding this for the sake of anyone else who may have the same problem.
