router.
3.
Using only Internet Explorer (do not use Chrome, Firefox, or any other browser) go to the following
address of the Asus firmware:
http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_FirmwareUpgrade_Content.asp
When prompted enter the username and password. The default for both is ?admin?.
This will bring you into the Asus stock firmware where we can upload a TRX file for
DD-WRT.
4.
On this page Browse to the firmware you downloaded:
dd-wrt.v24-14896_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12.trx then click on Upload.
5.
After clicking Upload you?ll have to wait for the firmware to upload. The router will reboot a few
times. That?s fine. Just wait, you?ll see the progress bar move. The router will go into a reboot cycle
where it reboots over and over. Believe it or not, that?s actually a good thing.
6.
Once it looks like the router starts the endless boot cycle where it powers up, all lights come on, then
go off, etc, etc, turn the router off by pressing the power button OR unplugging it.
7.
Now we need to install the Asus Firmware Restoration program (It?s the file you downloaded earlier
called Rescue.exe). It?s the standard Next, Next, I accept, Finish type of install. At the end of the
installation you will be given the choice to Launch the application. Go ahead and do so.
8.
When the application launches, you need to browse to the location where you have your DD-WRT
18774 mini firmware (remember, that?s what you should have already downloaded). Do NOT hit the
Upload button yet. We are just trying to get everything ready.
9.
Grab a paper clip or something sharp and push and hold the reset button on the back of the router. The
router should be powered off or unplugged while doing this.
10.
Plug the power cord in or power the router back up and with the paper clip still in the reset button. We
need to wait for the power light on the router to flash very slowly. It takes about 15-20 seconds before
it starts to flash. It flashes in 5 second intervals, 5 seconds on, 5 seconds off
11.
After it starts to slowly flash, take the paper clip out of the reset button
12.
Hit the Upload button on the Asus Firmware Restoration application that you got ready.
13.
Wait. You will eventually see the application connect to the router and upload the firmware. And then
start waiting some more.
14.
The router should automatically reboot on its own. Wait 2 more minutes and then try to connect to the
router via 192.168.1.1. If you are brought to the DD-WRT login to change the password,
Congratulations, you got DD-WRT on there.
15.
Using the DD-WRT web interface update to firmware dd-wrt.v24-33215_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega.bin
RT-N12HP and RT-N12VP
These have the same specs as the B1, C1, and D1 hardware. One user successfully flashed a RT-N12HP B1
with dd-wrt.v24-18774_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12B1.trx, but the others are unknown. Proceed at your
own risk!
