WARNING: Use only dd-wrt v23 final (25.dec.2005) or v23 SP1 final (16.may.2006). Some beta versions
are buggy and will brick your router.
WARNING: The WAN port and LAN ports could be temporarily swapped
WARNING: Some routers' status lights (LEDs) will not work
WARNING: Reset button will not work
WARNING: Currently no way to go back to original firmware (I did it once, but could not reproduce)
1) Flashing using TFTP [Suggested Method]
Before flashing be sure to restore to factory defaults. Also check if you can connect to the router wirelessly.
Follow directions under Installation#Flashing_the_Buffalo_WHR-G54S_and_WHR-HP-G54
Note for WBR2-G54 users: Users have reported that once they install DD-Wrt, they have been unable to
restore the original Buffalo 2.30 firmware (even via tftp after removing the first 35 bytes). A few users have
reported success with a later version of Buffalo firmware, 2.32, that they obtained through Buffalo Tech
Support; they were able to tftp this 2.32 version, after they had adjusted the header as shown below.
2) Flashing using Buffalo's WEB interface [Alternate Method]
Use the DD-WRT generic version with the added Buffalo header. After successful transfer please wait 2-3
min., or until router reboots.
Inspecting the original Buffalo firmware one can see the custom header (before HDR0).
