Where can I download the offical dd-wrt for WZR-HP-G300NH?
On newegg.com, in the reviews this was posted:
Manufacturer Response:update. new DD-WRT supported firmware is now available for download at buffalotech.com
thanks
Marco
marcor@buffalotech.com
But I don't see it anywhere.
Just registered to say: bump!
This was one of the biggest selling points for me and I've been waiting patiently on the promise that it would be out this month. Please get this out ASAP.
Thanks
As far as i know it will be out this next month---I've been waiting from late May for it & decided to install the 14402 firmware from DD-WRT last weekend---makes a world of difference with this unit!!! Can't wait to try the "stock" open firmware to compare with.....
when i rang up buffalo i was informed that the wzr-hp-g300nh will see dd-wrt firmware in the first week of september.
going by the amount of issues dd-wrt had on these routers i suspect a september build to also be very unreliable.
gwheaton,
I'm very upset about this as well. I'm now out a 15% restocking fee after purchasing this router without second-guessing the official manufacturer response (although I'm not sure that I should have to do that). Buffalo, you really should remove this official response from this review. DD-WRT was 99% of the reason I bought this router. I know I won't be purchasing another Buffalo router after this little debacle.

Update:
I've corresponded with marcor@buffalotech.com and received some answers. He's a very nice fellow and I sympathize with his plight. I'll just copy/paste the pertinent parts of his e-mail rather than retyping.
"Philip. You are correct. The WZR-HP-G300NH Does not have the DD-WRT firmware released yet. This is my fault. When I posted that response I was informed that the firmware versions were released and available for download. Unfortunately after I had posted my comments I found out that the DD-WRT versions were only released for WHR-HP-GN and WHR-HP-G300N. I was informed that the DD-WRT version for the WZR-HP-G300NH won't be released until Aug. I submitted a request to have my comment removed for it's inaccuracy. But it's like getting a act of congress to change it."

It's mid August - where is DD-WRT? for my WZR?
dont you know how to read? it is said to come out in september.
Hi,
On the dd-wrt site there are two versions of the dd-wrt firmware:
You can find these in the router DB at:
http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
Just use the router name: WZR-HP-G300NH
Of the two files for download use: Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH: Special File for initial flashing. And the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH: Webflash image when upgrading from an older version of the dd-wrt firmware.
Also be aware the dd-wrt firmware requires different USB Hard Driver Formats than the stock Buffalo firmware. And should be formatted else where before trying to mount ... Seethe following:
http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/USB_storage
http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Buffalo_WZR-HP-G300NH for more information on setup...
So, for me at this time... I'm going to use the Buffalo firmware...
Bruce :-)
I just noticed that DD-WRT is now available (as of 9-1-10) on the download page for the Nfiniti WZR-HP-G300NH (WZR-HP-G300NH Download Page).
It describes the file as follows: V24-SP2 build 14998, DD-WRT (Professional) firmware for the WZR-HP-G300NH.
I hope everybody's happy now!
I will be if it works. Nothing else has up to now.

Not really yet. I do have big issue as some other user.
I upgrade the router to
Router Model Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH
I installed the dd-wrt build for the wzr-hp-g300nh. There seems to be a lot of bugs:
1. I can't enable SSH via the web interface, although telnet does appear to work. It says it is enabled, but I can't connect.
2. I can't add port forwarding rules via the web interface. After I add a port forwarding rule, an additional row shows up with blank form cells. It won't let me re-add the rule saying it already exists, however it doesn't work.
3. Same thing with static DHCP leases.
Hopefully a newer build comes out shortly.
SSH is working for me, could also disable Telnet without problems.Port forwarding works fine too
As for Static DHCP leases not showing, holding in the reset button for around 17 seconds and setup from scratch again, fixed that for me.
I bought this router after I had a fully working router because of the additional features laike NAS etc. To this day, nothing has worked with it. Like everyone else, the latest update is failing all the time. Even an apparent reversion to an earlier one does not work with this upgrade. Do we even know what's in it-what it is supposed to fix and allow? I spent so much money and time on this router already. I could have lived with the factory default firmware but now the "supported" dd-wrt firmware has rendered my unit worthless for the most part. Is there a way that is guaranteed to work to perform a solid upgrade? Thanks.

If you have upgrade to dd-wrt befor this official dd-wrt firmware then you will have to go to dd-wrt to get the original firmware 1.65 to flash it back. After that you go to 1.74 and then the dd-wrt firmware 14998.
I got the problem and I think you may have to reset to factory setting before upgrade. Some customization setting won't allow you to upgrade such as jffs2 ...
This is official so I go with it but I really don't know why the firmware stop supporting NAS/formatting drive and XFS. I got my drive formated with XFS from firmware 1.74 but that hard drive is useless now. The dd-wrt doesn't support any fancy drive like NTFS or XFS. It doesn't even support Bittorent!
I'm sure they need at least 1 more firmware to support NAS/Samba, DLNA and torrent as it's advertised! Well I think Buffalo got PR issue here when depending on dd-wrt to add those. dd-wrt is not serious enough to add those. I think Buffalo may have to recall this dd-wrt firmware and try to make their own firmware more stable instead.
