Linksys WRT54G + Tomato firmware install problem

Guv · 1 Mar 2008 at 22:13

I was running sveasoft on my router but thought I'd give tomato a try so installed it which the router told me was sucessful, however I can't access the router now.

I've tried 10.0.0.1 which it was before, 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1

I've also tried resetting the router using the button on the back.

Any ideas?

The IP should be http://192.168.1.1/ with Tomato but if it is now corrupt I'm not sure what you will have to do to recover it.

Sounds like it you may have borked the firmware install

seems odd that is told me the install was sucessful though

Do you not have to put it back to the default firmware before putting another 3rd party firmware on?

Pretty sure that wasn't mentioned in the readme file

if you've flashed with tomato and it installed

take out the power cable

hold the reset button for 60 seconds, then release, now plug back in, and try 192.168.1.1 with the ethernet cable plugged in

admin
root

think that's the name & password

as bledd said, do a hard reset and it should be ok

thanks for the help guys

I managed to get access with wireless only, but couldn't get an IP with the wired ports or get an IP from my ISP.
So I put sveasoft back on which worked but thought I'd give tomato another go and realised I'd used the wrong version before! oops!

Anyway all working fine now I used the right version
