This is a guide on how to restore from DD-WRT to the original stock firmware. The router that I'm using is TP-Link TL-WR1043 Ver 1.8.
Download
- TP-Link TL-WR1043 stock firmware: http://www.divshare.com/download/19132686-eec
- WinSCP: http://winscp.net/
- PuTTY: http://www.putty.org/
Software required
- WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client, SCP client, FTPS client and FTP client for Windows. Its main function is file transfer between a local and a remote computer. I use this sofware to transfer files from my WinXP computer to the router.
- PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Windows and Unix platforms. I use this software to SSH to router & perform flashing command.
Enable SSH
- Open up a browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1 (you should use your own IP)
- Login in to DD-WRT.
- Goto Services tab and enable SSH
- Goto Administration/Management and enable SSH
Copy firmware file to Router
- Unzip the downloaded firmware file to any folder, now you have wr1043nv1_en_3_13_10_up(120210).bin in your computer
- Run WinSCP
- Transfer wr1043nv1_en_3_13_10_up(120210).bin to /tmp of router
- You may want to rename the firmware filename to shorter one, I renamed it to a.bin
Start Flashing
- Run PuTTY (SSH to router)
- Enter command as blow
|
cd /tmp mtd -r write a.bin linux |
The router will reboot upon flashing successfully
