once you've got dd-wrt up and running you'll see your mac id is 00:90:4c:c0:00:01 - you'll want to change that. Go ahead and run the administration command
nvram set et0macaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the mac you wrote down.

This didn't work for me in r14929, and I noticed that in nvram the three relevant MAC addresses were called lan_hwaddr, wan_hwaddr, and wl0_hwaddr. These three will match up with the three on the MAC address sticker on the bottom of the router. From that, only lan_hwaddr could be changed using nvram set, and only for that boot. The other two can be set using MAC Clone in the webGUI. So, set the WAN and wireless MAC addresses using the clone MAC address page and set LAN by adding the following line as a startup script (doable in the webGUI):
nvram set lan_hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx _________________ WRT54GL 1.1 v24 preSP2 r14896 | RNX-GX4 v24 preSP2 r14929 | 2x AR430W v24 (both bricked ATM) | 2x F*n2100 Legend Pre4.5U & v24 preSP2 r13525
I installed "dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin" v24 preSP2 [Beta] Build 14896 from the Netcore NW618 download link.
Whenever I enter the command via WebGUI: nvram commit
I get: nvram lock, waiting....
I also try the telnet way and it looks like it goes, but the mac doesn't change. If I enter the command without the nvram commit it works. But I want it to stay in nvram even after a hard reboot or restore factory settings.
I did a 30/30/30 hard reset and also a nvram erase command. How to I commit it so when I do a restore factory settings or hard rest my MAC addresses stay and NOT get mac id is 00:90:4c:c0:00:01 ?
Also there is no light indicators when you reset by pressing the little button.

You should run the commands from telnet. Each of these 3 lines is a separate command. You have to hit "enter" after each line before entering the next command.

I understand the telnet commands. I was just trying to figure out how to keep the changed MAC and vlan1 settings after factory reset or hard reset.
On another note, after a reboot the LAN port doesn't respond and I have to disable/renable the computers NIC or unplug/plug in the network cable back into the router to get it to work again.

Oh, now I understand. I think this is a handicap that will have to be tolerated.

That is an easy wrong conclusion to jump to due to this piece of shit radio taking forever to boot up and start responding. Start a ping loop and then reboot it. After 2 and a half or 3 minutes it will start working.
NewEgg got their clock cleaned on this junk ass radio. For about $10 more you can get a an Asus rt-N12 that has about 6 times more hardware capacity under the hood.

I heard that this router is tomato compatible and thought it was inexpensive.
I flashed it with the non-ND version of tomato. I don't know how to unbrick it.
I downloaded Tftpd32 and change the folder to where I save the firmware I got from Rosewill. Change my computer's IP to 192.168.1.33 with 192.168.1.1 as the gateway. Unplug the router, hold reset and plug the router, nothing happened.
I tried "tftp -i 192.168.1.1. upgrade_linux.trx" too. Got Timed out.
I can ping the router alright. But nothing else seemed to work. I can't find cisco tftp server.
jw, is anyone have problems connecting to this router wirelessly? replaced my friend's previous crappy dd-wrt enabled router with this one. i have no problem connecting to it, but ALL the computers in this house gets "unidentified network" but its connected.
