Flashing
 | NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power. |
Flashing dd-wrt
Supported by dd-wrt as of = v.24 rc7 micro - build 9355 (29.03.08)

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

READ the Peacock Thread first.
use the wiki and forums to do research before even contemplating installing dd-wrt
check the WG602v3 works before flashing
check your WG602v3 matches the details in the [Supported Devices page]

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
- connect the WG602v3 to a computer using a network cable
- set static ip of computer to 192.168.0.220/24
- there should be no means of access to any other router or dhcp server or the WG602v3 will not set its default ip address.
- perform a [30-30-30 Hard Reset]
- in browser go to http://192.168.0.227 L:admin P:password and check it is the default netgear setup
Installing dd-wrt
- on the computer disable firewall and antivirus
- run tftp2.exe
- configure as follows
- Server to 192.168.0.227
- password leave blank
- pick the firmware
- set rety to 50
- open a command prompt and type in ping 192.168.0.227 -t
- unplug power lead from router
- replug power lead into router
- the instant you get a ping response from the router click Upgrade
- if it doesn't work try unplugging again (timing matters)
- stop pinging the router (ctrl-c)
- (very important) wait 5-7 minutes after you get the success message before doing anything. recomend you walk away and get a drink
After Install. Initial Preparation Before Use
- reconfigure the static ip of the computer to 192.168.1.220/24
- in browser go to http://192.168.1.1

- wait for gui to come up again
- change default username and password
- close browser
- open browser and load the gui again. you should now have the status screen
