Did you need a cable to load OpenWrt to the 825?

Just a standard network cable between your PC & laptop (do not try to flash over WiFi!)

Rember, your warranty is VOID after you try this!
(Neither I, nor D-Link, nor Felix, nor DD-WRT can be hold responsible if you 'brick' your router!)

To get DD-WRT working simply download the file 'factory-to-ddwrt_WW.bin' to your computer from the DD-WRT site here.

Then use the 'Felix Kaechele method' at his blog and use the factory-to-ddwrt_WW.bin file to flash the firmware instead of the openwrt-ar71xx-dir-825-b1-squashfs-backup-loader.bin
After the successful flash remember to do a 30-30-30 Hard reset (if you do not, CPU load in the router is verry high and your WiFi might not be working)

I'm now running DD-WRT on my D-Link DIR-825 and its running great!
See my screen shot:

Will it be possible to go back to the D-Link original firmware if I don't like the DD-WRT firmware version?
Basically the orignal firmware works fine for me. A feature I like is the Guest-WLAN. Where I can give friends access to my wifi without to give them access to my attached network devices.

[waffull]

I successfully installed the dlink firmware 2.02NA after having both openwrt and dd-wrt installed and working.

I decided to try going back because despite having dd-wrt all configured and working, even the config backed up, when I unplugged the device to move it to the area I keep all my IT equipment in, something went wrong.  Once I plugged it back in, I could no longer connect to it (wired or wireless - telnet/ssh/http and not getting DHCP.)

I tried everything I could think of.  I was able to get openwrt up and working again, but could not get the wireless radios to show up this time.  Installed dd-wrt again only took me to the same place, no access.  So I remembered seeing on fetzig.org that you use the same procedure to install the dlink firmware again.

That works, but I cannot get the wireless radios to turn on.  There must be something stuck in its craw.

I'm still working on it.

So you can install the firmware again, but I can't guarantee everything will work again.

Try a 30-30-30 reset (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Hard_reset_or_30/30/30)
That worked for me getting the WiFi back again.

And creating a 'Guest network' is possible in DD-WRT by creating an unbridged network under 'Virtual Interfaces'.

I've done the 30-30-30, including the 10-10 added at: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Recover_from_a_Bad_Flash, but no luck.

Something is stuck in nvram (I think) and I can't even telnet/ssh to the unit to erase the nvram.  I'm actually finding myself wanting a Cisco style console connection right now...  Oh well.  I'll keep trying different things.  Any other suggestions, please let me know.  I'm open to anything, except that old 'it's small enough to throw out the window' idea.. (already thought about it:))

Tried it now this DD-WRT firmware. Looks good but it's for me like a function-overload.
Wanted to go back to the original firmware. But when I'm loading this firmware, I'm getting the message "Upload failed". :-(

You said OpenWrt is working for you, right?  (at least SSH access).  Have you tried erasing the NVRAM from OpenWrt (which does not use NVRAM for its config) then flashing whatever other firmware you like (DD-Wrt or stock) and have it create their default values?

Big disclaimer: I have not tried this myself, etc, etc.

To be on the safe side, I would read up on boot_wait and tftp before attempting it.

[Geraner]

Tried to reload once again the same firmware which I already have installed. And even here I get the message "Upload failed".
WLAN does only work with one laptop for a couple of minutes. The other one can't get an ip-address at all.

Thanks for the reply.  That's actually along the same lines that I've been thinking, but I can't figure out how to erase nvram.   ('erase nvram' does not work)

the 30-30-30 doesn't seem to work properly on the dir-825.  At the end of the 90 seconds, the power light is flashing orange and it's in the firmware upload mode (192.168.0.1)...

I'm starting to think maybe quick shock with a defib may be the only way to clear the memory

Thanks,
Marc

According to this: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=52389#p52389 the command is

Code: [Select]

mtd -r erase nvram  (again, not tested myself).

What does the dir825 manual say about resetting to factory defaults?  Is it somehow different than the 30-30-30?  Because that should be doing the exact same thing (resetting the NVRAM).

...

Just looked it up.  It says to hold the reset for 10secs and the router should reboot itself.  Then wait a while before logging on.  Perhaps by holding the full 30s it jumps to the firmware upload mode without resetting the NVRAM?

Thanks for looking up all of that info:)  I've tried the mtd command a bunch of times and in different formats, but I get the same message:
Could not open mtd device: nvram

I also tried the 10 second reset and while it doesn't go into firmware upload mode, it doesn't seem to clear what ever is stuck in its craw.

I did a fresh install of the openwrt firmware, installed luci, hostapd & kmod-ath9k.  I then opened luci (http://192.168.1.1) and found the following in the system log (I'm guessing these are indications of what is actually wrong, but I'm not sure how to interpret it.  Anyway have any idea?

PM me the output of:

And I'll see how it compares with mine.

I can install this into a A2 model? if not, why not?

No.  D-Link built the rev A using a Ubicom chipset which does not support Linux.  They have fixed this by using Atheros chipset in the rev B hardware.  Atheros does support Linux, permitting 3rd party firmware.

Smart in my opinion as it allows us to run DD-WRT and stop harassing D-Link for updates because once you go DD-WRT you won't go back trust me.
