@duFo

You bricked your routers using the NVRAM60K builds, these are for Linksys routers only.

You may be able to use a serial cable to repair, research this on the DD-WRT website/forum.

The most features you can get are from the shibby version of tomato.

Enter into your web address, ” tomato.groov.pl/index.php?dir=K26%2Fbuild5x-083V “.

Control f search for ” tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT5x-MIPSR2-083V-AIO.trx “.

Right click and “save target as” in internet explorer or right click and “save link as” in firefox.

I was halfway through the firmware update when my cat walked on my powerstrip and shut everything down. Ive gone back through the process numerous times and everything seems to work but when i pull up 192.168.1.1 its a blank page but the tomato icon is next to the ip…..it also seems to hang on system recovery succeeds! Please wait for system reboot….tia

Thanks. Worked with no problems. I’m glad I found this page after going through hundreds of useless, confusing forums and wikis.

OOPs The correct URL [192.168.2.1] is on last line, earlier value is a typo

I bought RT N-16 wireless router for its specs. Using it with WIN7 Ultimate operating system and connecting to Verizon dsl. ASUS tech support is very good, their documentation is in many languages but with limited helpful information, Documentation states URL for the router is 192.168.1.1, this is not correct it is 198.162.2.1.

Verizon is very poor. With help of ASUS support managed to access using both direct wire, and wirelessly. Verizon do not support ASUS, and tech support could only suggest using “DHCP”, which is not a type option, and pushing hard to sign up for expensive “premium” tech support (with no indication they have people who know ASUS routers). Could not say what type of isp services was being provided (e.g. PPPoE, dynamic, static etc.) One ‘Tech’ suggested Dynamic, the next Static.

Have several times managed to access internet, but it is not reliable, often dropping. I suspect this may be due to conflicts between ASUS expected connection protocol and Verizon actual.
The main reason for this post is to provide correct URL address 192.168.2.1
