I had a linksys WRT54GS version 2 router that I wanted to upgrade from openwrt to dd-wrt. I could not find any documentation on how to do this. So I created this page just in case anyone else needed to do this.

Replace your firware image referenced below with the correct image for you router.

secure shell or telnet into the router running openwrt

cd /tmp

wget http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/v24-sp1/Consumer/Linksys/WRT54GS_v2/dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin

mtd -r write wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin linux

If all goes well your router will reboot, and when it comes up it will be running dd-wrt

I did a factory defaults after the reboot, I am not sure if it is needed or not.

-I did this to my 2nd WRT54GS version 2 , and it bricked it.
-I could restore it using the method of shorting 2 pins on the flash, and restore a factory Linksys image. If up then used the linksys image to load the DD-WRT all worked fine until I rebooted the router.
-I found this information, and it worked for me.
