I suggest making a desktop shortcut to avoid the tedious clicking.Ĭontrol Panel > Network > Change Adapter Settings (left pane) WINDOWS: You will have to change your network settings. NOTE: If this router IS NOT brand new, you must do a 30/30/30 Reset, see step #6. Any errors of “suggestions” that pop up, completely disregard them. From here, type that address into the web browser. By default, 192.168.1.1 is the default address. Just in case: Save this where you can remember 2) Flash R2

Process/ Flashing 1) Download the Firmware Above If possible, use something other than Windows.īoth ethernet and wireless connections will work by this method. The instructions on the Wiki are a bit off. R1 does not have to be set up as an access point (AP). For the purpose of writing, router one will be R1, router two R2. The E900 is currently the cheapest model offered, yet tops a majority of other routers from different companies (Namely ones that start with ‘B’ and end in ‘elkin’). I bought a Linksys E900 router on eBay for $20, refurbished directly from Cisco.
Figuring the process was easy for me but no so straightforward, I hope to enlighten folks who are looking for a solution in that regard. This is a process that must be done right in order to ensure that you don’t brick multiple routers. In short, flashing is the overwriting of ROM modules on a given device. “DD-WRT is a third party developed firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many ieee802.11a/b/g/h/n wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design.”Įssentially open source firmware for routers, installed by flashing a routers existing firmware. My research brought me to a solution, using DD-WRT. I needed something that would provide me with both, better Wi-Fi and provide me with an Ethernet connection. I had also been dissatisfied with the Wi-Fi signal that I had been getting while upstairs. That computer was located upstairs, while my router and other computers were downstairs. I ran into a situation where I had an old computer that only had the ability for an RJ-45 (Ethernet) connection. To keep life simple, I suggest printing #3 below.
