How do I revert back to official Linksys firmware from dd-wrt on WRT56G2 v1?
- by Chris Moore
I've been having trouble with dd-wrt on my Linksys WRT56G2 v1 router and want to go back to the stock Linksys firmware for it. The router has only 2MB of flash memory, and so I'm running the 'micro' version of dd-wrt.
My question is what is the best way to do that?
I could use the http://router/Upgrade.asp dd-wrt "firmware upgrade" web interface to do it, in which case there's a dropdown menu choice for "After flashing, reset to": "don't reset" or "reset to default settings". Which should I pick?
Some people say that I should use a program called tftp.exe instead. I can probably gain access to a Windows machine if this is necessary.
Which of these is the way to proceed? I don't want to brick the router if at all possible!
Note: I used the 'wrt54g' tag because I wasn't allowed to create a 'wrt54g2' tag due my low rep here.
