Screenshot of a QoS versionCurrently brainslayer offers a special version of DD-WRT with extended QoS capabilities:
set maximum bandwidth available per netmask/MAC address (v.24-SP1: even for different vlans)
set a default rule for any unconfigured netmask/MAC address
This version is available from the DD-WRT Shop.
Updates for this special firmware version are provided in the special Customer Downloads & Updates forum.
This special edition of DD-WRT offers more features than the 'free' version of DD-WRT. Call it what you want, but this is the full edition of DD-WRT and the free edition is a crippled counterpart. Where do you think new features will go first in the future? The free version or the 'special edition' version? In order to protect revenue, Brainslayer will feel increasingly compelled to add exclusive features to the special edition, add anti-copying mechanisms, and illegally protect GPL code. That is what happens when paying your bills is dependent on how many sales you make. He admits to this very fact on the DD-WRT store page that sells the 'special edition': "we will additional features in this version in future too." (reference) You'll find this 'special edition' of DD-WRT for sale in the DD-WRT store right now.
dd-wrt.v23_<type>_generic.bin Generic version for flashing via web interface on all supported devices (including Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS) and for flashing Siemens SE505 with boot tftp on 192.168.2.1
dd-wrt.v23_<type>_wrt54g.bin tftp versions for WRT54G. You CAN use this to flash via web interface but do so only AFTER you have done so using the mini version. These versions were just made specifically for TFTPing to those routers. (v5/v6 note: Since the WRT54G/GS v5-v6 uses a modified WAP54Gv3 once made 'linux ready', it will not accept these standard WRT54G/GS firmwares. You must use the 'generic' build for TFTPing to these units).
dd-wrt.v23_<type>_wrt54gs.bin tftp versions for WRT54GS. You CAN use this to flash via web interface but do so only AFTER you have done so using the mini version. These versions were just made specifically for TFTPing to those routers.
dd-wrt.v23_<type>_wrt54gsv4.bin tftp versions for WRTGSv4. You CAN use this to flash via web interface but do so only AFTER you have done so using the mini version. These versions were just made specifically for TFTPing to those routers.
dd-wrt.v23_<type>_wrtsl54gs.bin tftp versions for WRTSL54GS. You CAN use this to flash via web interface but do so only AFTER you have done so using the mini version. These versions were just made specifically for TFTPing to those routers.
1. Download firmware (I used dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin)
2. Set the IP on your computer to 192.168.1.2 (gateway is 192.168.1.1)
3. Open command prompt and type:
tftp 192.168.1.1 put "<path to your firmware file>" -i
but do not hit Enter yet
4. Power off the WL520GU
5. Press & hold the restore button, then power on
6. When the power LED flashes, release the reset button
7. Hit Enter in your command prompt window (step 3) within a few seconds of releasing the restore button
8. The transfer takes only a few seconds but give the router a minute or so to reboot (just to be sure)
9. Unplug the router, wait at least 10-15 seconds, then plug it back in
