Hi all!
First of all, I'm looking for several hours how to do this but I don't found something that match that I want.
Probably because I'm not native english and don't use correct keywords...
I have a house in the mountain and so many time that I arrive, when I plug the router, this starts with factory default config.
I am using dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin firmware in a WRT54GL, I don't need any special feature, only AP mode and DHCP passthrough, so after read some post I think that mini firmware is enought for me.
So, I am looking a solution that even when my router restart with factory defualts always start with my own config and I learn that the only solution is modify the firmware.
I download mini firmware and using FMK I have the firmware extracted.
But, now I don't know how to modify factory default config to change LAN IP address, SSID and a few parameters more.
Any changes that you make to the router, and apply, will still be there when you restart. Do a proper HARD reset and configure the router, hitting APPLY to write the changes. _________________ SIG:

That is not the problem, because not always the router reset to factory defaults after a power cycle. Only some times and always hit apply after changes.
I am sure that is a problem with my router that reset to factory defaults randomly, but that is not important for me if I am able to change factory defaults into firmware.
The problem is when my family go to the house and I am not there and the router is to factory defaults. Because that I would like to change factory defaults.
The three reasons that a router will revert back to factory defaults from saved and APPLYed settings are:
1. Heat
2. Improper power supply
3. Full nvram. You can check for full nvram with the test mentioned in the peacock announcement, but a HARD reset will empty most of the nvram memory.
You can save a backup of your settings and restore them if you lose the settings:
ADMINISTRATION:Backup
Firmware modification of default settings is beyond what I can assist with. Someone else might be able to guide you but that seems the much harder road than a nvram backup. _________________ SIG:
