Linksys E1200 V2, Configuring for Wireless Bridge, Bricked?
In fact DD-WRT, when installed properly, can give you features that are not available on some professional grade routers. For instance, with dd-wrt you can setup VPN server and client services, multiple SSIDs, remote file system mounting, SSH, SNMP, and more. The process for installing dd-wrt is fairly easy, but can take a little time to research. Reload router defaults settings 2. Connect ADSL modem to WAN port to router 3. Install Astrill on your router. Command-line setup methods. It is also possible to install Astrill applet on DD-WRT flashed routers using command line as well. You can check the following articles for reference. Windows via telnet. An older model, we only recommend buying the Linksys E1200 if you're operating a basic, budget PC set-up.

| | Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 1:05 Post subject: Linksys E1200 V2, Configuring for Wireless Bridge, Bricked? | I recently set my desktop up in my basement, which isn't wired for internet. Since I had a spare Linksys E1200, I decided to do some research into DD-WRT and use the router as a wireless bridge.
I followed this guide to set it up, meaning I installed this version of the DD-WRT firmware: dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e1200v2.bin
After following the guide, the router worked perfectly. I set the router up as normal. After I completed this, I set to work on enabling the wireless-bridge functionality.
I followed the image in this guide. Though it was written for a different firmware version, I was able to follow the steps and get things set up.
The router was functioning after this and I was able to find the network I wanted to join using the 'Site Survey'. I could join it but it would not enable internet.
Since that didn't work, I tried changing the security from WPA2 to the other WPA2 option (combined, or something like that?). I changed a few other seemingly insignificant settings (I wish I could remember them...) but then the router stopped responding.
After this, going to the IP assigned to the router (192.168.0.1) no longer worked. Whenever I go to it (even on a browser which has no cookies or cache, i.e. Incognito in Chrome) the DD-WRT icon shows up on the tab. Unfortunately, the page does not load. Pinging the IP fails and the router does not show up in Device Manager. I've done some reading and tried the 30-30-30 reset to no avail.
A few more details: The lights on the back of the router function correctly. When I plug a cable into port 1, it lights up. When I plug a cable into 2, it lights up and so on. Since the DD-WRT icon shows on the 192.168.0.1 page, I think it's recognizing the router, even though the page doesn't load and I can't see it in device manager.
So... did I brick it? I tried following the Peacock Thread but it's very evident that was not written for novices. I have very little technical education in Networking.
Let me know what else you need to know and I'll try to provide it. Please understand that I may need you to spell some things out for me. Thanks in advance. |

When I plugged it in, I was able to access the DD-WRT settings at the standard 192.168.0.1 address. From there, I did a restore to the backup I took before I started this whole mess (i.e stock DD-WRT). Once it rebooted, my computer connected to the internet. The DD-WRT router (E1200) recognized that I wanted it to be a wireless bridge.
The IP to access the settings is now 192.168.1.2 (just took a few guesses).
So thanks for the help even though the problem fixed itself! |

| | Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2018 15:43 Post subject: Update to Linksys E1200 | I have a E1200 V2 that is currently running in client bridge mode using DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/27/13) - SVN 21676. I installed this firmware a few years back and everything seems to have been working fine (the router gives network access to my Yamaha receiver).
I'd like to switch from client bridge to repeater bridge to improve wifi signal strength on first floor of house however I stupidly did not save the account/password that I used when configuring the router initially. So it seems that the only way to get repeater bridge working is to reset the router. I'm assuming that I should perhaps take this opportunity to update to a newer build?.
Per the post below I'm thinking that build 33986 (dd-wrt.v24-33986_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega-nv64k.bin) would be reasonable to install on the router. For clarity, I understand the update process to be:
1) Remove computer from wireless/internet and connect to the E1200 using an ethernet cable.
2) Perform 30/30/30 reset of the router and allow time for the router to reboot.
3) Login to router and flash 33986 firmware from the webgui update page. Wait at least 3 mins (maybe 5 or more!).
4) Power cycle the router and wait for lights to settle (maybe 2 or 3 mins).
5) Perform hard (30/30/30) reset, login and proceed to configure the router for repeater bridge.
Is this a good build to use with the E1200 and do I have the correct understanding of the procedure to be followed?

I have been testing 33986 build (with Krack patch) for the last days on my secondary AP and so far so good.
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r33986 mega (12/04/17)
Time: 15:54:21 up 2 days, 5:10, load average: 0.16, 0.13, 0.07

Based on jpp's comment, I decided to put this same build (dd-wrt.v24-33986_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega-nv64k.bin) on my Cisco/Linksys E1200 v2 as my very first foray into DD-WRT. I followed the Flashing Instructions including the Current Editor's Note, which took me from the Linksys firmware it came with to DD-WRT build 33555 mega, and then I flashed to 33986 from there.
On my fairly vanilla configuration I have 2 full days of uptime, 16,000MB of ingress, and 800MB of egress behind me. I'm using the default settings aside from changing the root password, renaming the SSID, enabling WPA2 Personal wireless security, and pointing DNS at DNS.WATCH's resolvers. An hour ago I also enabled the OpenVPN client, and it has been solid aside from the significantly reduced ingress capability of about 3Mbps (which at a glance appears to be bottlenecked at the router CPU, although I have not yet attempted to diagnose and could be a result of many factors external to the router).
The only two issues I have observed are trivial:
1. After applying Restore Factory Defaults, it is necessary to power cycle the router in order to bring it back to life. During the process of flashing from the original Linksys firmware to DD-WRT, I also observed this behavior on at least one of the older builds along the way. I've seen it mentioned in this Forum several times, so it is a known nuance.
2. Enabling HTTPS web access to the DD-WRT Control Panel does not appear to work. I'm not exposing the Control Panel to the outside, so https is not absolutely necessary for me, this is just something I noticed.
I am just writing this to share my experience with DD-WRT 33986 on the Linksys E1200 v2 router, and to thank jpp for sharing his experience with this build - I am not writing to ask for help at this time. I wanted to try configuring OpenVPN on a router current enough to have vulnerabilities like KRACK addressed, which lead me to DD-WRT. Perhaps the above will be useful to someone with similar thoughts. |
