I am having some issues with getting my DSL modem to talk to my ddwrt router. I wanted to restore it back to factory settings to see if that clears it up. Dose anyone know how to reverse the ddwrt process to get the linksys firmware back in just like when you buy it new?

First, I think you CAPS was stuck or something. A topic title in all caps ain't helping Wink
A little search wouldn't hurt either.

If you're using a linksys or buffallo you can flash back just by flashing the file through the web-interface unless you're using > v5, then you must flash back the vxworks shit (see downloads for instructions).

never try flash all firmware via wireless !!!...can make your router bricked. flash with tftp or GUI just use cable for safely.

Yes a v6 needs special instructions.
If I'm correct you can use this one: dd-wrt.v23_wrtgsV5V6-revert-MAC.bin

But have have a look at this wiki article to be sure.
In that article there's a link to another site with all the instructions: http://www.bitsum.com/openwiking/owbase/ow.asp?WRT54G5%5FCFE#h13
