Hello everyone!

I have the following problem: I tried to install the software on my WRT54G.v8, following the instructions on the following page:

https://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G_v8.0_%26_v8.2

Everything went fine to point 5. ("Open your browser to http://192.168.1.1. A hard reset may leave you at a page titled MANAGEMENT MODE. If so, power cycle the router and reload. You should be in the Factory Setup GUI.")

Effectively, the router showed me the message "MANAGEMENT MODE". When I re-start the router, I can no longer access the WEB-GUI. 192.168.1.1 does not respond, the router has the ip 192.168.1.100 (I can do a PING to that address but nothing else. I can not access it with the browser, not with SSH)

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

What is your plan with such an ancient device?
Don't expect amazing speeds from it. Don't even plan on using it for VPN (~1Mb/s).

I would suggest setting a static IP on your computer (192.168.1.60 for example) then try accessing the router at either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.100.
