So, although I didn’t use or want the DD-WRT firmware on my routers, it did make it possible for me to get the routers back to the Linksys firmware that I wanted.

Still with nothing to lose, I thought I would try to flash the Linksys firmware again. At this point I had nothing to lose so I tried flashing them with the most basic DD-WRT firmware that was compatible with them., To my amazement, they both accepted the firmware rather quickly and easily. I tried for days, using TFTP, and a whole bunch of other firmware flashing utilities. For what ever reason, they would not accept a flash back to the original Linksys firmware.

The seller didn’t inform me that he had flashed them with a 3rd party firmware, namely, Broadband Hamnet. I bought two Linksys WRT54G routers, used on eBay, for access points around the house. I know this is an old thread but I felt my story might help someone else if they found themselves in a similar situation. In case of a Linksys router, you should see the Linksys firmware page, and your user name and password will have changed to: username = blank, password = admin or username=root, password=admin.

After it boots, open a browswer and browse back to the GUI.

This time it’s best to hold the reset button for 30 seconds.

After 10 minutes, do another hard reset.

Flash the Linksys firmware in via the GUI taking care not to lose power, reset or otherwise disturb the router during flashing and for 10 MINUTES after it says it’s complete….leave it alone.

Do a hard reset on the router (hold the reset button for 30 seconds, OR from the GUI, do a reset to factory defaults.

Download the proper firmware from your manufacturer’s website.

If you have DD-WRT on your router you have to do the following: If you 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 have DD-WRT you can directly revert back to your manufacturer’s firmware using DD-WRT’s web interface.
