Installation - DD-WRT Wiki

just follow the instructions in that website. Good Luck!
Just to resurrect this thread, I found our old Linksys wrt54g v.5 lying around the cabinet, would like to try this out since the signal is strong enough to cover both first and second floors.

The problem is I can't log in to it's default setting via browser (198.168.1.1), it gives out a semi-blank page with out the name fields. I was wondering if flashing the router and installing the firmware would do the trick? Also I'm not that techie to do this myself. Any help would be appreciated.
