hello..

this is one of those things where if you do the ddwrt mod for a bridge as example you loose the 5ghz function of your router.. as ddwrt does not support the 5ghz on this chipset in the router..

so if you have a version 1 of the e2500 which has the 8 meg flash. 64 megs of ram and the little piece of nv ram ect..

the other thing was that folks had also wanted to know how to get tomato working on this.. or to have both 2ghz and 5ghz and all the other items of the new firmware..

im sorry that this is not a specific ddwrt post as it is more of a restore the dual band function of the router and use it as a bridge and everything else..

im going to include the flash file i used.. plus also to say after this is done do the firmware reset from the admin menu.. then also do the nvram clear which is another selction below the firmware reset..

this is a tested known to be working firmware in the e2500 version 1... if the version number is not indicated you have a version 1.. if the version number is indicated then do not use this firmware file..

enjoy.

How much have you tested the 5 GHz? I used Advanced Tomato for a couple days on a E2500 as a nested GW, and...well, from the 33555 build thread:
I wrote:
I installed k3.10 33555 on a E2500 running Advanced Tomato; OEM f/w v1.00.01 prior to that. It was rebooting periodically today when using 5 GHz until after the third time, the 5 GHz didn't show up again. Then I switched to 2.4 and was fine the rest of the day. Apparently that's a common issue w/ the E2500 & Tomato (Shibby/Advanced), per mrjcd.
Granted, I didn't try it as an AP or bridge, but the USB-based 5 GHz was unstable enough on GW for me to run away, so I'm curious how it's working for you. Razz
