Upgrade in DD-WRT
AFTER FLASHING THE TRAILED BUILD, only use the following builds OR YOU WILL BRICK THE
e3000:
•
For builds before svn16773, ONLY USE e2k-e3k.bin builds
•
For builds since svn16773, ONLY USE an E3000.bin trailed build
•
If running an E3000.bin build since svn16772, you can upgrade using E3000 (trailed) or nv60k builds
•
See Where do I download firmware? for links.
1.
To flash an nv60k build (that replaces e2k-e3k), you must flash a trailed E3000 build from svn16773
or later before nv60k. Do not flash directly from e2k-e3k to nv60k!
♦
To flash another e2k-e3k build such as 15692 (must have e2k-e3k in the file name), follow
these steps.
2.
Download the desired e2k-e3k or e3000.bin trailed build
3.
Hard reset the router, then login to the router at 192.168.1.1.
4.
Go to the Admin->Firmware Upgrade page and flash the downloaded file.
5.
Wait AT LEAST 5 minutes until the WLAN light turn on, then unplug power on router and wait 30
seconds.
6.
Power up and wait 5 minutes, then hard reset again
7.
Wait until it finishes booting, log into web interface, set user/password, and set up DD-WRT

e2k-e3k and nv60k
Any build past 16773 requires a different build, rather than e2k-e3k, for subsequent flashing. In order to use
one of these experimental builds, you must ALREADY HAVE dd-wrt installed on your router using the
instructions above, following the steps in the Peacock announcement note 1.
