Installation of OpenWRT on Linksys EA4500 / N900 v1
Installation of OpenWRT on Linksys EA4500 / N900 1.- It looks like this is very important and you must not skip it!!!! Download/install last oficial firmware by Linksys Ver. 2.1.42 (Build 183584) Latest Date: 9/19/2017 Download 22.6 MB From here: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/firmware/FW_EA4500_2.1.42.183584_prod.img Perform the "upgrade" 2.- After the reboot, perform the install of OpenWRT. I'm not sure but my attempts to install the very latest firmware failed, so I used the version mention on this chatroom: https://forum.archive.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=60649&p=1#p304557 Post #21: Edit: that image you're running now might be old enough that you should flash the factory firmware first, then flash with https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … actory.bin . The board name changed from ea4500 to linksys-viper, which will prevent sysupgrade from accepting the .tar image. Link to the file: https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapsh...
