I'm evaluating a WZR-HP-G450H which came with DD-WRT installed, and of course I want to switch to OpenWRT. However, the web based GUI fails to download any of the bin files - both ones I compiled my self and also the pre-built "openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wzr-hp-g450h-squashfs-factory.bin" file form the OpenWRT.

I've found instructions for downloading with TFTP, but no mention of why the GUI wouldn't work. The Wiki page has serial port recovery instructions, but again; no mention of an initial installation:

I may want to flash a hundred or so of these - am I really condemned to doing it with TFTP?

may be it is, whether dd-wrt 's web can support openwrt-firmware update is not sure.

I think you can always flash them with mtd from DD-WRT command line, similar to here.

The discussion might have continued from here.
