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 Please reassure me and my procedure. This Wiki applies to both v3 and v4.



dd-wrt Firmware Replacement on Netgear WG602v3 Wireless Access Point

Read This First

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 80211abgh page

Firmware

The WG602v3 only has 2mb flash memory so can only support the micro builds found here broadcom folder (under year and the build).

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
    • there should be no means of access to any other router or dhcp server or the WG602v3 will not set its default ip address.
  3. perform a 30-30-30 Hard Reset
  4. in browser go to http://192.168.0.227 L:admin P:password and check it is the default netgear setup


Installing dd-wrt

  1. on the computer disable firewall and antivirus
  2. run tftp2.exe
    • configure as follows
    • Server to 192.168.0.227
    • password leave blank
    • pick the firmware
    • set rety to 50
  3. open a command prompt and type in ping 192.168.0.227 -t
  4. unplug power lead from router
  5. replug power lead into router
  6. 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

  1. reconfigure the static ip of the computer to 192.168.1.220/24
  2. in browser go to http://192.168.1.1
    • if you get the dd-wrt web gui password change page perform a power cycle on the router
  3. when the web gui comes up again perform a 30-30-30 hard reset
  4. wait for gui to come up again
    • change default username and password
    • close browser
  5. open browser and load the gui again. you should now have the status screen
    • login and configure
