(More customer reviews)O.k so the instructions on the website were a little confusing so here's my process.
Notes: A Hard 30/30/30 is when you hold the reset button for 30secs with power plug in,then 30 secs without power plug, then a final 30 secs with power plug in. During the entire process the reset button SHOULD BE HELD.
Step 1: Download-> http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/Linksys/WRT160N/3.0/dd-wrt.v24-13309_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_wrt160nv3.bin/2294
Step 2: Plug in the power for your router
Step 3: Plug your computer to your router, the Ethernet wire goes into any blue port, NOT THE YELLOW ONE.
Step 4: Do a hard 30/30/30 reset. See Note on how to do so.
Step 5: On your browser go to http://192.168.1.1
Step 5: It should say management mode, browse your computer for the firmware file, then upload. DONT TOUCH ANYTHING AFTER THIS, YOU COULD BRICK YOUR ROUTER.
Step 6: After the browser says upload complete, check your routers light and make sure the WAN,Wireless and power lights are steady.
Step 7: Then go to http://192.168.1.1 on browser, if it doesnt connect, then take the power off your router and wait 10 secs and replug and go to http://192.168.1.1.
Step 8: Once inside the browser, do a hard 30/30/30 reset after naming and putting a password on router and logging in.
Thats it your router is ready. You should upgrade to the newest firmware build 2010-08-09 mini one.
To upgrade download http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/Linksys/WRT160N/3.0/dd-wrt.v24-14896_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini.bin/3758
Do a hard 30/30/30 reset then log into router, you'll have to rename and make a password again. Then go to advanced tab and click firmware upgrade, choose firmware..then follow the browser instructions. After installs done, do another hard 30/30/30 reset and you're good to go.
