How To Install Dd Wrt On Linksys E1200 V2 Review

LinksysWrt

Install Procedure. Reference the Linksys E1000 wiki for the general procedure and information NOTE: use the minie1000v2.bin trailed build from the broadcomK26 folder. Minimum build for v2.0 is 16758 and for v2.1 is 16698; Do not use older minie1000.bin v1 builds which are prior to v2 support. In short, DD-WRT is a performance enhancing steroid for routers. In this tutorial, we will outline step by step on how to install the DD-WRT firmware so that you don’t encounter any problems in the near future. This tutorial will also ensure that you don’t end up bricking your router.

Little progress, at last.
TFTP - upgrade success message, but wirmware still the same - my stock linksys.
My actions:
1.Set your computer hardware adapter to a static IP address...
2.Start the TFTP utility...
3.Plug the ethernet cable from your computer into a LAN port of the router.
4.Unplug the router, plug it back in, and immediately hit the Upgrade button on the TFTP utility.
Yes, i'm hitting it on receiving first ping, TTL=100.
5. Very fast upgrading process - upgrade success message.
6. Wait 3-6 min, then do 30-30-30 reset.
7. Log in web gui - old firmware.
Tryed with
FW_E1200_v2.0.07.002_US_20150108.bin
dd-wrt.v24-21676_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e1200v2.bin
dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-nv64k.bin
Should I do some additional resets or powercycling?

Hi all,
I have successfully flashed this router many times. I am setting up a second as a repeater for my new roommate, but the FTP is down. I cannot download dd-wrt.v24-21676_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e1200v2.bin from http or ftp, and cannot find a mirror anywhere.
Can anyone share the file or point me to an alternative mirror?
Thanks!

Hi all, i have successfully install dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k.bin and it works great so far. But the only one problem is when i start downloading large file, my apple magic mouse & keyboard become lagging very badly. How can i fix this problem?

So just bought the E1200 yesterday. What is the best stable build without the heartbleed issue with openvpn ?
This will be used only for a Roku.

Hi
I am considering installing a 'mega' build, but I am not sure whether it might be too big.
This build: dd-wrt.v24-26138_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv64k.bin
has 8000512 Bytes which is 7813 KB or 7.63 MB.
Can I expect this to work with the Linksys E1200 v2? Or should I prefere the 'big' build dd-wrt.v24-26138_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k.bin which is only 7406592 Bytes?
Second question: the feature table says the 'mega' build has asterisk included. Does this work well already?

I am using dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv64k on my e1200v2 and it's larger than your mega being 7,873,536 bytes so you should be good to go.

Hi Noob, thanks for your reply. Good to hear that the 21061 mega works fine on the e1200v2. Build 21061 is also recommended in the router database. What features do you use from the mega? Do you use Asterisk?
I wanted to play around with Asterkisk, and therefore looking for a mega build without the Heartbleed vulnerability (see http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/content/heartbleed-dd-wrtdd-wrt-online-services).
Regarding the size of the builds you confused the size of the 26136 big and mega builds. The big is smaller than your mega, and the mega is larger:
dd-wrt.v24-26138_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k.bin: 7,406,592 bytes
dd-wrt.v24-26138_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv64k.bin: 8,000,512 bytes
Therefore I was asking, because 8,000,512 bytes is dangerously close to 8 MB.

Yes, the [dd-wrt.v24-26138_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv64k.bin] will install on a E1200v2
Might be worth the time to read thru before you install >>> 'New Build' 26138

thanks for confirming that the 26138 mega build will install, and for pointing me to the build discussion thread. I read the thread and besides some small issues the build seems to work for e1200v2.
Initially I was interested in the mega build because I thought it would include asterisk. But after reading the feature table again I realized, that asterisk is only included in the K2.4 mega builds, not in the K2.6 mega. Is that correct?
Therefore I think I will try the 'big' first if the asterisk isn't available in the 'mega'.

Hi mrjcd,
does the Tomato-Shibby have VoIP support - some SIP proxy function like milkfish in DD-WRT?

I really can't help you with this because I don't use it but Tomato probably has better/easier QOS for such things.
TOMATO RAF says it has support for such

Hey cliper,
The wireless issues with the E1200v2 are very real and even make dd-wrt unusable on this router for certain things. Since you brought this up I'll tell you what I know without going into any techy details. Certain wireless protocol will completely confuse this router. I have seen the same issues on the E2500 and the WNDR3700v3 but was very rare and only in a couple dd-wrt builds and no I don't remember which.
I have not found a dd-wrt build, including the 18946 for the E1200v2 suitable for me to use as my main router.
Example: Using E1200v2 as router / WAP or whatever...
FTP download will be at 1 mbps at best. Upload not affected and is always scary fast.
Tried different FTP cleints on android phone, Galaxy S3 tab, laptops. Filezilla won't even work and it does a good job on most anything.
The dd-wrt / E1200v2 / wireless negotiation / has a big fat bug in it.
The http protocol is not too bad for me ... can download same files using browser without a problem.
Wired clients are not affected.
I still have a couple E1200v2 here that I play with and have installed many many dd-wrt builds with all the same results when it comes to that particular example.
EDIT: The example above is dealing with a secure ftp server ( ftps )
I have never tried any KONG builds .. they may solve this ????
To answer your question from http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=959843#959843
I am really partial to DD-WRT cause they have so many neat builds to play with but since you ask I'll be honest and say the best firmware I have found for the E1200v2 is Tomato-Shibby. It does not have this bug. I've also setup a site to site openVPN TAP using it with two E1200v2 and have never had any problems.
tomato-E1200v2-NVRAM64K-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-124-Max.bin
This is the newest. I haven't used it but I suspect it is good -
tomato-E1200v2-NVRAM64K-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-128-Max.bin
They can be found here >>> http://tomato.groov.pl/download/K26RT-N/build5x-128-EN/Linksys%20E-series/

So i have problem to able to work with N-speed
All connected devices speed is only 54 i try G NG and N

I try all options and cannot get speed above 54G
Im tested:
dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e1200v2.bin

Is here version whih can get N-speed ?
Or please fix this.

Sorry to bump older posts, but these issues sound like the Comcast WMM bug. This was corrected in Linksys and Shibby's Tomato builds but not in DD-WRT. It is an easy fix.

Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2015 11:06 Post subject: 30-30-30 reset, power cycle, and 'reset to default sett
Hi,
I successfully flashed dd-wrt.v24-26138_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k.bin and it's working nicely. Posted a report in this thread: New build is out 26138 (BS) K2.6 and K3.X.
While playing around with different versions I noticed some things:
- After 30-30-30 hard reset I couldn't connect to the router via the LAN port (but wifi was working). But after another power cycle LAN port was working again, and I could connect via ethernet cable.
- When I tried the 26138 big the first time (comming from trailed build), I used 'reset to default settings' and had some problems (WAN IP not working, showing 0.0.0.0). The second time (comming from a vpnkong build) I used 'don't reset' and WAN IP was working correctly.
Can someone understand these phenomena?
Now I have a few questions:
- What exactly does the 30-30-30 hard reset do? Does it clear the nvram? Does it more (or something different?)
- what does the 'reset to default settings' do when flashing a new build? My guess is that it loads default values from the newly flashed firmware into the nvram.
But why would it matter anyways if I do a 30-30-30 reset afterwards?
- How can using the 'don't reset' option make a difference when flashing a new build?
- Does it matter from which build you are flashing the new version?

Yes,
So far all is working, so I think a release should be soon... I would definatly go for the E1200 version 2, as version 1 has 4 meg flash no bin over mini can be loaded on it.
Version 2 has a 8mb flash
you can tell version 2 cause the mac starts with
20:AA
version one is: C0:C1 ect .

Well I cannot see that mine states anywhere about the version (Just E1200) and the MAC of mine starts with 58:6D as well...
is there a proper way to make sure which version the router is before flashing it with the dd-wrt software?

If the router says E1200 v2, then it is version 2, and you should be safe to flash the Version2 bin.. If you flash the wrong bin, the OEM software should not let you flash it because of the wrong code pattern..
Remember Version 1 is 4mb Flash, Version 2 is 8mb flash. That being said on Version 1 you cannot use any build bigger than mini.

Hi Fractal, thanks for your reply. I suppose I have the V1 one then... is it ok to use the file provided here
Code:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/other-downloads?path=others%2Feko%2FV24-K26%2Fsvn18946%2F
I suppose it is the mini version and it should be ok.
And one more question, should i just use the web interface for firmware upgrade?
Thanks
EDIT:
I think I can just follow the guide posted in the main page right...? Its no different for these versions I hope.

Hey man.
I also got an Linksys E1200 with MAC 58:6D:8F with Firmware-Version: 1.0.02 - is it v1 or v2
Is there now a good working modified FW, Fractal ?
The attached .BIN in the #1 post, the #1 file, can I upgrade the FW thru the normal Upgrade process with my browser ?
Thanks for a replay.

To be honest I have not seen those in my area with the 58:6D mac, if you flip the router over next to the serial number it will say v2 or version2 if its a version 2 router... if its version one it will show the serial number only.
The link at the top of the forum is for the latest dd-wrt builds for this device.

Thanks for your replay. I don't see any v2 in such a field. I attach an image so you can also check it out.
What can I do with my router now ? Can I flash it with one of your CFW's ?
Can I just download the #1 BIN NVRAM, go to 192.168.1.1 - update Firmware - choose the BIN and let the magic work ?
