Just do the same thing with original firmware file.

I have been installed DD-WRT in my DIR-825 Router. But, DD-WRT too unstable, so I want to go back to the original firmware, but DD-WRT dosen't support that. Please, help me to go back to the original firmware. Thank you. Sorry for my English.

It fails to load the image but I'm not sure if the problem is the hardware version or not? Do you guys know if I can use the same image for version B2?

I've go on the upload page, I've updated the file, somewhere at 60-66% firefox saying: "Connection reset" ... after that I wait, and I wait, and I wait, and after 5 minutes I assuming that I have to reboot myself, so I pull down the switch (my router came with a switch on-off power supply, really useful for quick reseting) and the I pull up the switch ... and ... and ... well my power button is yellow (not blinking), I see that my pc is connected (that blue light), and only that, I can't ping either 192.168.0.1 nor 192.168.1.1 ... I've repeated the procedure more then 5 time, should I use other file, or what did I do wrong :-? Oh, I've forgot, after I got this error, I gotta press reset button for 30 sec, turn off keeping the reset pressed for another 30 seconds and then turn on, keep reset pressed for another 20-30 seconds until I can re-flash ... So... any tips, I really want to install apache, php, mysql on my router and from what I see OpenWRT is my only chance, I've tried DD-WRT, but I wasn't able to install Optware (I'm not an Idiot, just that every tutorial was not working for me, and I really tried everything) ... so my only chance is to get my DIR-825 to work with OpenWRT. If is it any use, my router is: Hardware Version: B1 / Firmware Version: 2.01EU. Thanks in advance for replays.

I found no other way than using a pure Windows machine. That's very unfortunate but that is the way it is. But I used the recovery mode for initial flashing only, anyway. Hi Mario,

Unfortunately when it's in recovery mode, no matter what browser i'm using it seems like it starts the upload but just times out. Tried so far: * Chromium on Ubuntu 10.04 * FF on Ubuntu 10.04 * IE8 on Win 7 in a VM from Ubuntu 10.04 host * FF on Win 7 in a VM from Ubuntu 10.04 host All are doing the same behavior. Looking at a wireshark capture it seems like packets are going out of order for some reason every time i'm trying and then getting resent. Any hints? Was that the same behaviors you were encountering? Felix:

However when I bridge the LAN and WAN interfaces I get near Gigabit speed. So I see no reason why this should not be possible in a routed setup.
