I just flashed my USR 5461 using the Hex editor technique found a couple pages back. I'm including the completed version of the firmware I used, which is the first 28 bytes of the USR factory FW combined with the DD-WRT firmware. This may help someone I hope.
I just installed that via the usr gui and all is fine. Playing around with it makes it a bit slow, but after a reboot when all settings where done, it ran fine for 5 hours.
Then the web interface stopped responding and it wasn't resolving any http adresses anymore so I rebooted it again, and all is fine. It's running a bit low on memory though
These 8MB ram routers don't really have enough ram to run smoothly, what I do is set all my settings then login with telnet and run "stopservice httpd" which shuts down the httpd daemon, to start it back up again run "startservice httpd".
You can to count cached memory as free, your memory is fine...actually a little on the good side for this router. _________________ Eko Builds
also, if it keeps doing this, can I reflash the router with the usr firmare again?
Yes you login with telnet and run the command "free", yes you can go back to the USR firmware...just upload it from the webif. The USR firmware is bad, stop playing with the webif and you will be fine _________________ Eko Builds
What are your worries with the memory, running the USR firmware you have no idea of usage. If it doesn't suit you all I can recommend is to go back to the old firmware, why did you switch? _________________ Eko Builds
well in the past hour it froze up 3 times, just during regular ftp downloads (no p2p, nothing else)
I tried flashing the .usr file but it says "incorrect image file"

Did you issue an "erase nvram" from telnet after your initial flash? If you didn't that's why your having strange issues. _________________ Eko Builds
crap, didn't think of that, I was already down the path of the "recover from bad flash" and deleted the linux with the "mtd erase linux reboot" thing... now when i tftp to it... i get "timeout occured" even when trying to set the dd-wrt again... got any help before i set the thing on fire?
