Many thanks Genzel - I have the download.

It would appear that Buffalo labels it's products inconsistantly -

Web interace: WHR-G300N
ROUTER: WHR-G300 V2
Box: WHR-G300 V2EU

In this thread it appears that the EU version of the firmware is different and checked for against new firmware which increases the risk in doing this - as without a copy of the current firmware there is no going back. [Note - I see that that the V2 version of this router is not listed in the US product list]

Buffalo: why not a 'save firmware' function on the web interface as a standard function?

I think I will wait a while as I do hope that BrainSlayer is able to upload updated firmware soon. Question

Once you flash a buffalo device, there's usually no going back. Plenty of warning in that regard all over the forums.

As a side note it does look as though us v2 users may have a fix coming Smile

Well, it is more inconsistent than that, the tftp routine in the boot loader is looking for the string "WHR-G301N"

Buffalo Australia has v1.70 and v1.80 firmwares for dl and the readme for 1.80 mentions taking care of displaying the router as WHR-G301N in the web gui Very Happy

v 1.82 of the firmware is available from the U.S site, but there is no product selection for v1 or v2, both of them has their firmware under WHR-G300N.
Same for the Australia site btw..

Think positive, but do NOT expect quick fixes.

WHR-G300N V1 routers have been around for over a year now with lots of firmware updates.

Works for some people, others can't use it at all.

The WHR-HP versions are able to flash back/forth, but that's because Brainslayer wrote the firmware for them.

Have patience, then have more patience, and maybe buy another router for your main AP.

Just switched back to the buffalo firmware 1.82

Using tftp in Ubuntu.
Everything works like a charm now.

That is a misconception which doesn't become more true just because it is repeated.

There is only one Buffalo model I know of for which there was no return back, the Ralink based WHR-G300Nv1.

Why do you think it will not allow you to tftp the firmware?
Any reason for thinking so instead of trying?

Off topic.
After upgrade from 1.80 to 1.82 my wifi speed does not up to 150 Mb/s (on 1.80 was 300 Mb/s)

Buffalo says, that I cannot downgrade to Ver1.80 or earlier. Heh Smile
Ubuntu, arp -s and tftp still work fine Smile
I reverted to 1.80

Well the firmware you download doesn't have an extension, the filename is just "whrg300nv2-180" and i thought tftp only took anything with .tftp at the end. I'll try it again :/

Web flashed Build 14667 - It looks very good after 1 days of off and on testing.

Many thanks BrainSlayer.
