I'm trying to install DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT160N V3 and am following the instructions at http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT150N_%26_WRT160N#WRT160Nv3_Instructions. After I do the 30/30/30 reset, and go to 192.168.1.1, the Linksys Management Mode screen shows up fine and I can see where I'm supposed to upload the firmware, but the page stops working within 15 seconds of me finishing the reset, meaning I cannot upload the firmware, and if I refresh the page I get a "page does not exist" error. I have tried disabling the Windows firewall but that didn't seem to change anything. I've searched around a little and couldn't find any answers. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Set yourself a static IP. 192.168.1.xxx (anything), 255.255.255.0 subnet, and 192.168.1.1 gateway. I'm not sure but maybe dhcp just isn't working. Give the computer at least a minute to reinitialize the new settings, then try again.
Unsivilaudio's suggestion worked perfectly, thanks.
However, now I can't figure out how to get my internet connection set up properly through the router. I thought that all I had to do was set the connection type to PPPoE and put in my user name and password, like I did on my old Netgear router, but that doesn't seem to be working. The internet icon lights up on the router as soon as I connect it to the modem but my computer doesn't recognize an internet connection.
I got the feeling that the solution is something obvious, but I've searched around and haven't found an answer.
