I've tried the DD-WRT from Buffalo, and have no problems with the WiFi or Routing, But...
One of the features I really wanted was the NAS built in to the router. When I received it (the router), I set it up with the factory firmware (1.72). As soon as everyting was up and running, I checke for an update and saw that 1.74 was available, so I installed that. Afterwards, I was completely unable to get to the internet!
So, I figured I'd revert to the 1.72, but after downloading it (bypassing the router, going straight to the cable modem), 1.74 wouldn't let me 'downgrade' to an earlier version :smileysad: That's when I downloaded and installed Buffalo's DD-WRT.
Like I said earlier, everything works just fine except I've been unable to get the USB NAS to work. I've found and tried a lot of setups on DD-WRT forums, and I think I've got my disk setup with the right Linux partitions (not an easy feat, as I'm definately not a Linux person), but it doesn't
'mount', so I can't get to the disk.
Bottom line -- how can I revert back to either 1.72 or the latest firmware (if it works) on my router? I've seen something about loading the 1.6 version of the firmware and then 'upgrading' to the version I want. Why can't I just go from DD-WRT to the latest release? OR, will DD-WRT more easily support the use of NAS on USB drives in a near future release?
Also, how do I use DD-WRT to load the original Buffalo firmware?
Thanks for any help from anyone.
