Is DD-WRT firmware safe?

Is DD-WRT better than OpenWrt?

DD-WRT is a close, close second. It’s proven to be a solid choice for custom router firmware, but it lacks in some features, customization, and update availability. OpenWrt is the best choice for most people with modern routers and with the time to sink into learning what exactly they can do with it.

What is the size of an E900 build?

[1] – E900 has 64 KB more than most 8MB routers: 8060928 bytes (7872 KB). Do not flash larger builds! Never use a build older than 18946, as E900 support was added then. To avoid bricking, only use a trailed build (the file with the router name) for initial flash, and nv64k (or trailed) builds to upgrade!

How do I upgrade the firmware on my Linksys Broadcom E900?

Connect via LAN cable to the PC doing the flash. Log into Linksys Web Interface “Firmware Upgrade” page (default: 192.168.1.1) Flash a trailed build (with ‘E900’ in the file name) from the broadcom_K26 folder. Wait 5 minutes to assure flash integrity. Power cycle by unplugging the E900 for 10 seconds.

Were You tftp’ing your Mini E900 builds?

Were you TFTP’ing various k2.6 mini e900 builds? If not, try that. If so, then do this: *The `erase nvram` vs `nvram erase` difference is intentional . Then manually set up, and run that for a couple weeks before trying latest builds. And always read the new build threads first; the E900 and E1200 series are finicky. Thanks for your time.

How do I update the firmware of my ddwrt router?

Try updating the firmware using tftp.exe and tftp2.exe from the ddwrt and linksys pages, disabling firewall and antivirus from Windows 10 and Windows XP, and it still says “firmware update sucefull” does not work. I also did it from the Windows and Linux console. I did it with several versions DDWRT and with firmware versions of the manufacturer.
