Asus WL-300g with DD-WRT
You will need:  A PC directly connect to one of the LAN ports of the router, via Ethernet Cable. (Unfortunately, it has to be a Windows based PC. I was unable to upload the firmware via tftp command. Maybe you'll have better luck with Linux).  ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool. This is found on the CD that comes with the router OR ASUS Support website here. Its hidden in Utilities section and named ASUS WL-500b/g wireless router utility program in English. Version 1.3.8.0 (for the English version). The file is called Eng_1380.zip (Use unzip app to decompress).  DD-WRT v23 SP2  DD-WRT v23 SP2

This process requires a bit of patience and persistance. The WL300G is a easy router that need a bit of encouragement. Eventually, you will be successful with installing DD-WRT onto them.  Set the PC to have a static IP of 192.168.1.10, while the gateway entry is 192.168.1.1  Before you plug the power connector in, press and hold the Restore or Reset button on the back.  While holding the reset button, plug the power connector in. </li> <li>This causes it to go into Restore mode. This is 					indicated by the PWR LED flashing at regular intervals. </li> <li>Now use the ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool and upload the DD-WRT v23 SP2 ASUS firmware rdd-wrt.v23_asus.trx. Wait until upload is complete and it reboots. This is usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. This can be seen by the AIR LED flashing at regular periods. </li> <li>Once done, unplug the power connector. Wait for 30 seconds or so. </li> <li>Now plug the power connector back into the router. <ul> <li>Try to ping the router from your PC. If it responds, continue to step 8. </li> <li>If not, then repeat steps 2 to 7 until it does.
