ok, i flashed my whr-g300n with the latest release (29.01) but i can't manage to make it work. i succeeded only once to get internet to the pc via cable but no way of achieving it with the wireless. another strange thing is that when i reboot the router after making the configuration i cannot access the web interface, so i have to reset it and start from the beginning. as i am new to this it might be from the configuration i made, but it happened like 20 times and every time i tried to get the new ip configuration manually and automatically and nothing - the web interface was unreachable. i guess the dhcp is not working properly.
Hello folks. First I tried flashing the router via web-if with the .enc file from january but I ended up with white pages like XioNoX in his thread.
No flushed cache or browser change brought the web-if back to work. Then I took latest tftp firmware from 21/02 and flashed it successfully.
Just wanted to mention that after the hardware reboot the successful flash was BEFORE the first ping responses, during "Destination Host Unreachable" period.
Regarding this, its a pretty easy and safe way to flash this little router.
is Your Wlan working correct ?
After flashing latest image from 21.02.09 via tftp I can activate Wlan and Laptop or other devices can connect, but I cannot telnet or log to admin page, or ping the router via Wlan!? With lan everything is ok.
On Status page TX and RX show verything ok, also router like wrt54ugs or WL500W can see it, but no connect.
DO you have any idea?
I reflashed two times with web-image from 21.02.09, first flash with my settings (no success) and second flash with reset to standard settings. And then everything worked fine
Pretty cool device on this price level :)
I'm new to dd-wrt, but I bought this router the other day and thought I'd give it a shot. Thought I'd share my experiences so far.
Installation
The instructions I found are pretty short and sweet, so I had to make a lot of guesses. Guess you guys do this in your sleep, so it's a bit hard for newbies like me to follow.
I tftp'd the firmware.tftp file to the router on boot up. Got that to work after a few tries.
I then used the web interface (took me a while to figure out that's what everyone means by "web-if"). I used the Feb 28 bin file. That worked well.
Problems
For the most part the setup was straight forward. Where I'm running into problems is with the DHCP on the wireless side. The LAN side works fine.
I had changed my network to 192.168.0.x since I didn't want to go through the hassle of changing all my network devices with hard coded IPs (ex. printer).
My other LAN connected devices get a 192.168.0.x address with no problems, but the Wireless devices keep getting a 192.168.1.x address. I have no idea why.
I'll keep fiddling with it, but I think I might need to change everything to 192.168.1.x to get it to work.
I reset my IP address range back to the default 192.168.1.x, and my wireless works now. Not sure if that's a DHCP glitch, or if I just can't find the place to change the DHCP for the Wireless devices.
Aside from that, all seems to be working well. Never got so much bandwidth out of my wireless connected devices.
The device's original firmware lets broadcast different SSIDs with different security modes (f.e. One WPA and one WEP). Is this made possible via virtual interfaces section on dd-wrt?
I tried to set it up but didnt managed to make it work. Any suggestions on how to protect my LAN with WPA while logging on the consoles with WEP?
should I be using the files here?:
downloads/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/170109/WHR-G300N/
I have two questions about that:
#1 There are 3 files (the first 2 mentioned in the flash wiki, but the last one says WHR-G300N-webflash.bin ... should I use this file or the other 2)
#2 Are these still testing? I don't want to brick my router.. maybe I should just use stock firmware until there are some updates or SP2 comes out... so any idea when that will happen?
What is the purpose of the last webgui step? The wiki says you can either tftp OR web flash, and I successfully installed DD-WRT just using tftp2 & firmware.tftp .. I used an older version from 280209
