Difference DD-WRT firmware from factory
First, it is worth noting that DD-WRT firmware is an operating system based on the Linux kernel. Even with the default settings it has a very wide functionality, much wider than in the factory firmware. Built-in components such as FTP server, Samba, WOL and more. Through the Web interface, detailed statistics and load on the channels of the local, wireless network and the Internet are available, as well as the load on the processor and the memory of the router.

If you configure the router to install additional packages, you can turn your router into a home media server. A connected hard drive with a torrent client installed, broadcasting ITPV via HTTP, for viewing via wi-fi. If you have a TV with DLNA standard support, you can connect the TV to the router and watch IPTV, as well as watch movies from your hard drive.

How to flash (install) DD-WRT

factory-to-ddwrt.bin - file for installing DD-WRT from under the router's native firmware.

webflash.bin - file for updating from already installed DD-WRT.

For some models, only one file is available for all operations.

Forthe originalDD-WRT installations:

In the address bar of the browser we typehttp://192.168.1.1orhttp://192.168.0.1,depends on the router, enter the data for authorization and update the filefactory-to-ddwrt.bin through the standard update menu in your router.
After some time, the router will reboot, after which you will see the updated interface (DD-WRT's address is 192.168.1.1 by default). On the main page when you first start you need to specify the username and password for administration.
Firmware dd-wrt installed, you can proceed to configure. (It is also recommended to do a reset to the factory settings after the firmware and before the setting)

If you have problems not being able to log into the DD-WRT admin panel after the firmware, go to the network connections on your computer and make sure that the ip addresses are issued correctly: ip: 192.168.1.xxx (the last digit may vary) mask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.1.1. If the addresses are different, then the easiest option is to restart the network card (on and off then the network will again request the addresses via dhcp), if this did not help, manually enter, for example, ip 192.168.1.2, mask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168. 1.1 and try to enter the browser again at 192.168.1.1.
Going to the web interface of the router, the tab "Settings" - "Basic Settings" - find this item:
Attached Image
Must be "DHCP server", if not, put.
The fact is that if there is a "redirection" your router will redirect the provider's IP address to your computer, that is, it will work as a switch.

ForupdatesDD-WRT already installed:

In the DD-WRT menu, select “Administration” - in the submenu, select the “Firmware upgrade” item. Click on the button “select file” and specify the firmwarewebflash.bin which was downloaded earlier. Click on the “Upgrade” button, the software update process will begin.

Options for rolling back to stock (native) firmware
Important!If you do not know how to return the stock on your router or do it for the first time, before performing any operations with the router, it is better to ask in this topic or topic visited by your router.Not all methods are universal., each router needs its own approach.
FAQ

AT: How to properly flash the router?
ABOUT:
  • Do not flash the router via WiFi; connect it to your computer with a network cable;
  • Before and after the firmware, make a hardware reset of the router (for example, "30/30/30");
  • Disable firewalls, antiviruses and ad blockers on your computer;
AT: What is "Reset 30/30/30"?
ABOUT: Press the reset button and hold it. After 30 seconds, turn off the power without releasing the Reset button. After another 30 seconds, release the Reset, turn on the power, wait until any other light on the router lights up except for the power supply, or the PC does not see the router, again we hold the Reset. Wait another 30 seconds and release the reset.

AT: How to view the system log?
ABOUT: You must first enable the syslogd service in the Services tab. (The field with the server name can be left blank.) And follow the link http://192.168.1.1/Syslog.asp, The page can be accessed only through the address bar.
If you don’t open the System Log page, then you have an old firmware version, and the log messages are written to the file / var / log / messages, which can be viewed with the commands cat, tail, more, less, etc.

AT: How to connect telnet to the router with DD-WRT?
ABOUT: Open a session in telnet client with the address of the router (by default 192.168.1.1) and the standard port (23). When prompted for a username (login), enter the standard root name - even if you changed the username to log in to the web interface. And when prompted for a password, enter the password you set for the web interface.

AT: How to load into the router not one script, but two?
ABOUT: Put the & sign at the end of the first script and load the second one. If you later need to load the third one, put the & sign at the end of the second script, etc.

AT: The Russian language does not work. Why?
ABOUT: Most likely the problem is in the firmware, the Russian works again in all releases of 2016. Also in the old stable versions.

Q: "retracker.local" stopped working, what to do?
ABOUT: It is necessary to turn off "No DNS Rebind" in the section "Services" - "Services" - "DNSMasq".

Q: Can I enable HTTPS?
ABOUT: You can, but to use it you need a special browser. Also, if you uncheck HTTP and leave only HTTPS, then you will most likely have to do a reset, since you will not access the Web GUI through a regular browser. (If you uncheck both checkboxes, you won’t go to the web interface at all)

Q: Does Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) work?
ABOUT: Yes, but you need to enable it manually, in the section "NAT / QoS" - "UPnP"

Q: I climbed in the settings and now I have a low rate of return or reception, why?
ABOUT: Most likely you have enabled "QoS", check if it is, then disable it.

Q: I set the TX Power to 20, but shows 16 dBm, why? I know for sure that the router can work on this power!
ABOUT: Perhaps the power is limited, because of the region you selected in the WiFi settings.Change to another, for example "US".

Q: TX Power has set 20 (or 21), the region is needed, but the router shows 19 dBm, why?
ABOUT: Maximum power can be obtained only on channel 6.

Q: It is written on the official website that I lose the warranty when installing DD-WRT. This is true?
ABOUT: Theoretically, yes, but you can flash the stock, and most routers will be out of the box.

Q: I need a built-in OpenVpn, is it in this firmware?
ABOUT: Yes, but only in firmware for routers with more than 4 mb. of memory. (You can find out how much flash memory in your router model, for example, in WikiDevi )

I apologize in DD-Wrt, it seems there is no this ...

You need to register the ip assignment commands on the LAN and it will work. What teams - I do not know.

Question: how to allocate ip on LAN1 or LAN4 for access to iptv from Rostelecom via HD MINI prefix?

Not knowing how it is now in RT, but previously there were several connection diagrams, one of which (was checked) on the fingers:
- Specialists come from RT with their equipment (only a prefix), connect to my router as a regular client, turn it on and everything works.
- turn off their set-top box, connect another player to the LAN port of the router, take a playlist for your region, and watch everything on TV from RT (in this case, igmp proxy worked on the router, the essence of which was to transfer the resulting multi-files from the WAN port to the home network in dd- wrt this service also has this "igmprt").
play
# EXTM3U
#EXTINF: -1 group-title = "Rt" tvg-name = Rus-24 tvg-shift = 0, Rus 24
udp: //@2xxx.x.x.9: 5000
#EXTINF: -1 group-title = "Rt" tvg-name = TV100 Rus kino tvg-shift = 0, TV100 Rus kino
udp: //@2С…С….С….С….70: 5000
#EXTINF: -1 group-title = "Rt" tvg-name = Sci-Fi tvg-shift = 0, Sci-Fi
udp: //@2xxx.x.x.9: 5000
...

Conclusion: in this case, the prefix is ​​connected as an ordinary client (the login / password on it is purely for the RT service), it is important that the multicasc arrived at our port (that is, it was opened on the RT equipment in our direction, everything is done when customer registration). At the expiration of the time after blocking this service in RT, this scheme has stopped working. About another scheme with a dedicated port has already been written a lot about it.
In this case, the multicast needs any IP address, RT does not give it when connected, but you can register any IP as packets from it will go to 224.0.0.0/4 (also Dual Access implies something like a provider’s network, i.e. Assign IP on WAN interface). Also, the assumption that this scheme is used is that the QCA9533-AL3A chip in your router has Atheros, usually two physics are two independent network interfaces - WAN (for example eth0) and LAN (for example eth1) or it can be vice versa. It is unlikely to select a port from eth1 (this is just vlan) and add it to the bridge to the WAN port (eth0 + vlan1).

On dd-wrt
1. need telnet
2. do the setting via WEB check through telnet:
2.1. With dual-Access PPPoE, you set IP (Advanced settings and Receive IPTV) and check the work of the Internet. The essence of this chip is in the conf file in the upstream line to specify the desired interface on which to use (vlan2 - the network interface of the WAN port with assigned IP, ppp0 - the Internet interface itself from RT)
/ tmp # cat igmpproxy.conf

quickleave
phyint vlan2 upstream ratelimit 0 threshold 1
phyint br0 downstream ratelimit 0 threshold 1
phyint ppp0 disabled
...

2.2. make the Security setting>Filter Multicast daws should not be - start the igmpproxy service that will use the conf which is higher, to determine which interface (upstream) and where to throw (downstream).
3. then according to the settings we have:
/ tmp # ps | grep igmprt
2157 root 912 S igmprt /tmp/igmpproxy.conf
/ tmp # cat /tmp/igmpproxy.conf
quickleave
phyint vlan2 upstream ratelimit 0 threshold 1
phyint ppp0 disabled
phyint br0 downstream ratelimit 0 threshold 1
phyint eth0 disabled
phyint vlan1 disabled
phyint ath0 disabled
phyint lo disabled
/ tmp # ifconfig vlan2
vlan2 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr
inet addr: 1.1.1.5 Bcast: 1.1.5.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
...
/ tmp #

4. there is one more important parameter Setup->Networking section Create Bridge parameter IGMP Snooping - ON / OFF start with OFF (for all clients)

Rep: (24)
I apologize in advance for the "lyrical" retreat:
I patched my TL-WR841N router to dd-wrt. Internet connected for one or two.
Web-muzzle from the drain is very different. I began to search through the windows, where to register the ip for access to the locale of RT.
Otherwise, the HD Mini prefix does not stream. The program is loading, but there is no air. When connected to a channel - a black screen on the monitor (I transfer HDMI cables from a PC and a set-top box to the monitor)
Well, go to the site of the RT. Hi Hi. I have a question: on which LAN did I connect the console?
- for the first
- it is necessary on the fourth
- OK, switched to 4
- the console is overloaded?
- not
- overload
- OK, overloaded. No ether
And here's the most interesting thing in the chat: something went wrong, sorry
About 10 years ago, techno did have RT below the baseboard, but now this is a different time.
Our local provider resells the Internet from RT.


On the drain, the master (who messed up the wires on the packet) set up a secondary connection (dual access pppoe) with ip 1.0.0.1 assignment and mask 255.255.255.248
just for the console. But, in dd-wrt there is no such option.
And yet, I changed the LAN (on the stock firmware) in places to all the nests - the prefix itself diagnoses whether or not the Internet works and works independently of any nest.
Bike about 1 and 4 LAN - this is purely "excuse" tech.

Connecting dd-wrt as a “client” wifi or get internet via wifi and distribute as usual.

If we need to get the Internet on the antenna instead of the wan port, with dd-wrt there is nothing easier.
First we need to find the network to which we will connect

After we found our network and clicked the "Attach" button, we go to the wifi settings, check that the "Client" is standing, there was the required network name, and enter the password from this network.

If everything is successful, we will see such a line on the System Information tab.

Almost all. Next, go to the "Settings" tab, set "WAN connection type" - DHCP and write down the DNS addresses. It is also recommended to change the address of the router from the standard 192.168.1.1, for example to 192.168.11.1

Done, now the Internet comes to us by wifi and is distributed as usual. If you also need to distribute the Internet via wifi, then you can add a "Virtual Interface" But you need to remember that the transmitter is one, so do not expect outstanding results in this mode.
