Hi all,
I have wl-500gp.I want to install brcm47xx-2.6/openwrt-usr5461-squashfs.bin.
I know that 2.6 doesn't have good support for wlan but I don't want to use it so it's ok.
I have tried to install firmware with tftp following instructions for windows and linux and
didn't succeed.
I will list my steps so if anyone can help debug my steps please do...I cannot find what's seems to be
the problem.
INITIAL SETUP:
router address: 192.168.1.1
connected with laptop running winxp and linux debian 4.0 with strait-trough cable in Lan port #1.
windows:
# Open two command windows (Start-Run-Enter "cmd")
# In one window, type "ping -t -w 10 192.168.1.1" and press enter. 192.168.1.1 is the router IP.
# Ping will continuously try to contact the wrt with 10 ms timeout instead of default 4000 ms. Keep this running
#
In the other window, prepare the tftp command "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT OpenWrt-gs-code.bin". Do not press enter yet!
# Now you may plug in the router (unplug it first if it was plugged).
# In the ping window it will start saying "Hardware Error"
# Return to the tftp window. As soon as the ping window starts to answer again, press enter in the tftp window.
# The image should now be flashed without multiple tries.
# If ping starts with "Hardware Error", then starts to answer, and then returns to "Hardware Error" again for a short moment, you waited too long.
RESULT:
It didn't work, reports timeout.
------------------------
Linux:
#tftp 192.168.1.1
tftp>binary
tftp>rexmt 1
tftp>timeout 60
tftp>trace
Packet tracing on.
tftp> put openwrt-usr5461-squashfs.bin
Transfer timed out.
RESULT:
It didn't work, reports timeout.
Somewhere I read that router must bi in diag mode ....but didn't find the solution on that.
Please help.
tnx in advance.
