Hello,

I just got a new EDUP EP-DL520G ADSL2+/switch/wireless and want to enlighten it's brain with new knowledge. Best option, of course will be to flash DD-WRT on it, but it resists my attempts for a full day now. Other option is to program it via telnet, as I will have few of those routers, and going via the web interface is a loss of time.

So, my point is how to flash it or make it run a script upon boot-up? It refuses ftp; sftp times out; via telnet I can not save anything on squashfs. I assume the configuration shall be on some rw partition, but no luck to mount any. I need to make some site-specific configuration - traffic control, etc.

Router web interface is Actiontec; here and there in the text is mentioned Q-West; and as seen below, the model is given as:  ProductID       GT701-WG.

The router runs linux (so, not so wild, anyway), likey based on DD-WRT: Linux version 2.4.17_mvl21-malta-mips_fp_le (root@new-host-3) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release/MontaVista)) #1 Mon Jul 3 16:12:57 UTC 2006

It has 4megs of flash (/dev/mtdblock/0 - 4) and 16 megs of memory; there is nice information in /proc/ticfg/env:

So, ideas of how to flash DD-WRT in it without losing ADSL2+, the USB port, the Ethernet port and the wireless is welcome. Other possibility is to modify start-up scripts.

Thanks,
George.

Wrong forum. This is the OpenWRT forum...

Do it at your own risk.
Backup mtd0, mtd1, mtd3 and mtd4 before continuing. I don't know how. Maybe by ftp get.

Download openwrt-ar7-squashfs.bin.

Stop Adam2 before you can access the ftp server, I think.
