Apologies for the noobish nature of my question. (Hopefully I've at least asked in the correct section.)
I have a Linksys E1700 with "DD-WRT v24-sp2 (11/03/14) std - build 25251" and have been trying to troubleshoot some strange behaviors.
Do I have the correct firmware version? Is there a better one to use? I don't use the E1700's radio, so wireless issues aren't a great concern to me. (LAN port #2 would be nice.)
Having read through a dozen threads about E1700 firmware difficulties, I'm thoroughly confused as to what version should be used. Thank you.
Hi, cdent1,
I just saw your question. I bought a E1700 recently. Installed DD-WRT as follows:
- flashed the firmware to Linksys v1.0.00.081
- then flashed the firmware to factory-to-ddwrt.bin
- finally flashed the firmware to linksys-e1700-webflash.bin using the beta version on 2015-01-20 (r25974).
DD-WRT is working. LAN port 2 is not working, as noted by many others. Hope this helps.
