Hi,

I have successfully installed dd-wrt in a Linksys Wrt54g v8 before, and now I plan to install it in a WRT54G V5.

Following the install instructions for versions 5 and 6 (dd-wrt wiki) I have noticed that the procedures are quiet different from v8. First, it doesn't use VX_WORKS_KILLER_v04, and it comes with dd-wrt.v24-12548_NEWD_micro.bin, which is not the latest build.

I would like to know if I can change the file dd-wrt.v24-12548_NEWD_micro.bin to dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin (v24 preSP2 [beta] build 13064) during installation. Would it work? Or better off install the old one and then upgrade?

Thank you all!

Eduardo Germani

The Peacock Thread, the definitive source of collective wisdom, says that 12548 is recommended over 13064 right now.

13064 seems to have some issues; 12548 seems more solid or reliable.

Newest is not always best.

Thanks for your reply.

I wanted the 13064 build in the first place because it appears in the official page (http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database) as the recommended download for my router.

I agree with NXIL. Read the peacock announcement. You will see why. Stick with 12548 for now.

The "official" page also has a link to SP1. Shocked Rolling Eyes

Thanks guys.

Indeed there is a explicit recommendation in the peacock announcement:

"BS12874 or EKO 12548 12874 is working well also. At this time, 12548 is the recommended build. I have found throughput problems and people are complaining of disconnects with build 13064. I suggest sticking to these recommended builds and not using 13064."

I will give it a try right now.

Thanks once again!
