Installation
- Download factory-to-ddwrt.bin (SHA1:2f0868f8cc0343d3bf2c534c67f8fcaf986adec1); I downloaded the original file from here, but the link doesn’t work anymore as of when I’m typing this up
- While logged into the router over a wired connection, install the bin file using the standard firmware update installer
- Hold the reset button for 30 seconds and do not release it until step 5 (the lights might turn off and on before 30 seconds have passed)
- While still holding the reset button, switch off the router for 30 seconds
- Still holding the reset button, switch the router back on and wait 30 more seconds
- Switch the router back off and release the reset button
- Finally, turn the router back on and wait for a few minutes until you can access the web interface
