Flashing DD-WRT
initial flash: use Tftp flash

Someone who has this router should write a proper wiki entry on how to upgrade, but until that is done, here is a link to some basic information

Firmware
the WG602v3 only has 2mb flash memory so can only support the micro builds BrainSlayer builds (13525) dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/older/12-28-09-r13525/broadcom/ [dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin] using tftp2.exe

Preparing The WG602v3

 * 1) connect the WG602v3 to a computer using a network cable
 * 2) set static ip of computer to 192.168.0.220/24
 * 3) * there should be no means of access to any other router or dhcp server or the WG602v3 will not set its default ip address.
 * 4) perform a 30-30-30 Hard Reset
 * 5) in browser go to http://192.168.0.227 L:admin P:password and check it is the default netgear setup

Installing dd-wrt

 * 2) run tftp2.exe
 * 3) * configure as follows
 * 4) * Server to 192.168.0.227
 * 5) * password leave blank
 * 6) * pick the firmware
 * 7) * set rety to 50
 * 8) open a command prompt and type in ping 192.168.0.227 -t
 * 9) unplug power lead from router
 * 10) replug power lead into router
