If y’all accept DD-WRT you tin directly revert back to your manufacturer’south firmware using DD-WRT’s web interface. If you lot are using HotspotWRT or CoovaAP, first you need to upgrade to OpenWRT, then DD-WRT to be able to revert it to original firmware.
If you lot have DD-WRT on your router you have to do the following:
- Download the proper firmware from your manufacturer’s website.
- Do a difficult reset on the router (hold the reset button for 30 seconds, OR from the GUI, do a reset to mill defaults.
- Wink the Linksys firmware in via the GUI taking care not to lose power, reset or otherwise disturb the router during flashing and for ten MINUTES after it says it’s complete….leave it lonely.
- After 10 minutes, practice another hard reset. This time it’s best to concur the reset button for thirty seconds.
- After it boots, open a browswer and scan dorsum to the GUI. In case of a Linksys router, you should see the Linksys firmware page, and your user name and countersign will have inverse to: username = blank, password = admin or username=root, password=admin. Yous’re done.

You lot can brick some routers if you only upload a stock firwmare with the U Boot on the file, like some TP-Link routers. Do a better research if you really want to avoid bricking your device.

If you lot are changing the software program in the residence router including tp-link, you desire a technique to upload the plan on the tp-link router.
Together with factory software plan such equally dd-wrt, the manufacturer usually supplies a
process while you are currently working accepted software
program. You make use of any cyberspace browser linked with the
actual tp-link router for you to upload by TFTP server fresh,
authorized software right normal place.

This worked for me for the asus AC66U.

That worked for me to revert to Cisco-Linksys WRT160N. I did the and so called ’thirty-30-thirty reset’ to exist on the safe side. Then I’ve set a static IP address on my PC to 192.168.one.7 (equally with router in FW download style it doesn’t give DHCP addresses), connected to the router at 192.168.one.1 using my web-browser (yous are getting a very basic FW-upload-only page after the reset rather than the regular router configuration page) and uploaded the stock Linksys FW.

I know this is an sometime thread simply I felt my story might help someone else if they plant themselves in a similar situation. I bought two Linksys WRT54G routers, used on eBay, for access points around the house. The seller didn’t inform me that he had flashed them with a third party firmware, namely, Broadband Hamnet. For what ever reason, they would not accept a wink back to the original Linksys firmware. I tried for days, using TFTP, and a whole agglomeration of other firmware flashing utilities. At this bespeak I had goose egg to lose then I tried flashing them with the most bones DD-WRT firmware that was compatible with them., To my amazement, they both accustomed the firmware rather quickly and easily. Still with cypher to lose, I thought I would effort to flash the Linksys firmware again. Well, that did the trick. So, although I didn’t utilise or want the DD-WRT firmware on my routers, it did make information technology possible for me to get the routers back to the Linksys firmware that I wanted.
I don’t accept any connection with DD-WRT. I didn’t want to accept to larn about their firmware but their site was tremendously helpful to my problem. There is a lot of information there, regarding their firmware, but I got just enough flashing insights to remedy my situation. Their router database is expansive, then it’s likely yous’ll find help specific to your own router. I owe them a debt of gratitude.
