This link is for Toasman's Tomato version and it comes as. "tomato-WRT54G_WRT54GL-Toastman-IPT-ND-VLAN-VPN.bin" So bottom line: "Where do I get, and how do I install, some version of Tomato that supports VPN, fits on a WRT54G, and is installable given that I currently have DD-WRT on the router?" IIRC correctly, from back in the day, this old router needs "R1" firmware, not why do we start over from scratch, am certain can help you to accomplish your goal.Īnd downloading (you will need to signup for an account to use 4Shared but you can use ): But if it fits on the Buffalo, it should also fit on the WRT54G. I do not remember if this firmware was a trx file or a bin file. My Buffalo WHR-G54S has "Tomato Firmware 121 ND VPN" installed on it, and that supports VPN. Some of the K26 firmware might work on this old router, but which version includes VPN and would fit? That's not clear to me by looking at the available downloads. It appears that the Tomato firmware I need only comes as a trx file (the old K24 stuff). My firmware choices are limited, due to the small flash size of this old router. But I need VPN for this router now, and the DD-WRT firmware currently on it does not support that. Why I installed DD-WRT on this particular "G" model is a mystery to me. Or was installing DD-WRT years ago a fatal mistake? All my other old routers from the same era as this WRT54G have Tomato on them (a Linksys WRT54GL and a Buffalo WHR-G54S). My question is really "How do I get this firmware onto my router"? I don't really care why DD-WRT doesn't allow the upgrade, I simply want to know how to do the upgrade. And when I set the computer back to auto IP, I can't even access 192.168.2.9 anymore.Thanks.

When I do that, I can access the DD-WRT GUI when the static IP is 192.168.2.9 but there is no internet connection. I'm assuming not as I've tried the above and not having luck. in the directions, where it says "go to setup, basic setup and enter a local IP address of 192.168.1.6, should that be changed to 192.168.2.6? should the static IP I set up be 192.168.2.9 instead of 1.9? The directions I'm working off are here:Ĭould someone please tell me what I have to change in those directions considering my default gateway is 192.168.2.1 and not 1.1? Specifically, I'm trying to use a Linksys e1000 with DD-WRT installed as a client bridge. That said, I have a Belkin F7D8301 as my primary router and the default gateway is 192.168.2.1. I"ll preface this by saying I'm a novice in all this and don't really understand subnets, etc.
