I've been cleaning up a few broken links and such, and adding a few "ostentatious" things like making important text that easily gets overlooked bold. Going to do pictures next. Many of the pages are so old, I don't even know where to start. Shocked

I have done some cleanup and correction of the Installation page. http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Contributions/Techie

I'm glad to see people putting focus on improving community resources. Maybe we should have a weekly wiki improvement project with a different goal each week.

I would like to draw attention to the #dd-wrt IRC channel on freenode. I am there nearly every day answering questions. Currently there are no channel operators. Normally we do not require moderation but occasionally it would be nice to update the topic since it has not been changed since 2007.

Apparently, the channel is not owned by the dd-wrt project. I contacted a freenode staff member and was told that dd-wrt could reclaim the channel by filling out a group registration form. http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml and http://freenode.net/group_registration_form.php

I changed out links on the WL-500gP v2 with build BS 12533 and Eko 12548 for the USB Mini build.

Since I've been eyeing the DIR-330, I updated the DIR-330 install page to reflect a newer non SP1 build. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Dir-330

Oh I almost forgot I added this too: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/USING_YOUR_DD-WRT_ROUTER_TO_SHUTDOWN_A_REMOTE_WINDOWS_SYSTEM Info gathered from a post listed in the wiki article.

Well, one way to go about it could be to update on pages where you use, test and implement whatever the pages are talking about. Seems to me to be a good way to make sure that essential information and valuable real-life-experience gets saved, for others to use and base choices on later. :lol:

Might also be a good idea if we would decide to only leave information about the principles for stuff that relates to versions before v24. Ie. I find it interresting to see how jffs can be activated in scripts, how one can insmod xxx.o modules and stuff like that, but I no longer feel a need to know about the differences between v23 rc3 and rc5 or something like that.

http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/How_To_Flash_the_WRT54GS_v7 seems to be very redundant. The same or very similar process is repeated three times. I hate to delete anything because there might be some useful info in there.

Many routers require TFTP for flashing. Instead of repeating the same process over and over on the Installation page, it might be better to just link to the http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/TFTP_flash page. It seems to be fairly well written.

On the router specific pages, we could link to the TFTP_flash page and point out any steps that might be different for that particular router. (different IP)

hi,

the compiling and building instructions on the wiki (here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Development#Building_on_Debian_Unstable_using_DD-WRT_V24_-_Work_in_progress_.5B.7Ematrix.5D) are outdated and result in just errors

These urgently need an update, because otherwise lots of developers will disappear.

regards

Cedrix

While not an install article, I have revised the wiki client mode instructions. The format I used was to add the new information above the old, and leave the old intact for now. In a month or so, if there is no need for the old, I will look at deleting the redundant parts.

For those of you who feel the wiki instructions are not correct, but are reluctant to change them, this process would work well....add the info you feel is better above the old leaving the old intact.

You can see what I did here in the "new info" section:

I have added some jtag information and changed the heading so that it is now under "jtag" instead of category:jtag. Couldn't figure out how to do it before.

I have also de-stickied this post, and linked it in note 5 of the peacock announcement, along with instructions not to delete from the wiki if you don't know what you are doing.

I have added wrt160N to the wrt150n material that was there, creating a new page for wrt150N and wrt160n.

There was previously no linked page for the 160N and no wiki install that I could see.

The process for flashing these two routers is identical.

DarkShadow, may I ask why you removed all of the contents from the WRT54G-TM Wiki entry?
