I use a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH modem with 'A1 A2' and alot of japan words on the back.
I wonder why I cant upgrade OpenWRT firmware? It all bricked my wifi.

Use wzr-hp-g300nh binaries of your choice from the trunk, but you need to log into your unit's ssh (I assume you know how to do this) and issue a ubootenv command to deal with the Japanese version.

dd-wrt# ubootenv set accept_open_rt_fmt 1

You can also refer to the wiki page:

You may also want to issue the following command, which will provide you with a lot of margin on tftp timing problem.

dd-wrt# ubootenv set tftp_wait 10

I wonder why I cant upgrade OpenWRT firmware? It all bricked my wifi.

I gess it is 301NH, isn't it? Which openwrt firmware I should use?

Use wzr-hp-g300nh binaries of your choice from the trunk, but you need to log into your unit's ssh (I assume you know how to do this) and issue a ubootenv command to deal with the Japanese version.

dd-wrt# ubootenv set accept_open_rt_fmt 1

the command 'ubootenv' is not exist when i try to do with your advice.. sad

still a lot of instability with this newer build. on minor wifi load router reboots itself. setup as just an access point.

When using this guide, note that I had to use 02:AA:BB:CC:DD:1A for the MAC instead on my router.


If your flash fails, try that instead.


Keep in mind you have to do the arp set-up, since this router doesn't broadcast itself for tftp.  If you don't do the arp set-up, it will time-out (fail).

I'm extremely sorry, but I found out that dd-wrt for WZR-HP-G300NH does not include the ubootenv command (the firmware for AG300H does)  I believe I have done the 'accept_open_rt_fmt' mod in the serial console.

Any plans for WZR-HP-G300NH2? I'm stuck with mine. I wanted additional packages like asterisk-app-meetme, which is not there in the trunk which currently loaded to my WZR-HP-G300NH2. Is any other way for me to get these packages?

Just flashed RC5 on my g300nh yesterday.


I have to say, awesome performance improvement compared to DD-WRT (stable and alpha).


I got a 100mbit internet downlink, with dd-wrt i was only able to reach 50-60mbit/s peak. With only 4 Downloads running, 128kbit internet radio was lagging massively.



OpenWrt = 100mbit/s rockstable! Yaa awesome!




Thanks to all the devs!

I can confirm it. The performance is really perfect. The Wireless and Lan Ports are working perfect. No wireless Dropouts. The only peace for me not working is the UMTS/3G reconnect. When UMTS gets disconnect than the router has to be rebooted.

Once this 3G problem is fixed I think it's fair to say for the WZR-HP-G300NH with A2 A0 version of this router this will be pretty much a perfect build as far as I'm concerned, it's amazing what the devs have done, looking forward to probably my last compiles...


Now I'm using pfsense running on a custom built pc as a router and UTM device, works alot better than these little plastic boxes wink
http://www.pfsense.org/   the WZR-HP-G300NH is relegated to a switch and wireless access point.  I can confirm it's running great as a gigabit switch on this firmware yes FULL SPEED GIGABIT.

As far as I'm aware buffalo's fancy custom ddwrt firmware will never support gigabit and the wireless drivers are crap to boot.

So as I understand we will not see anymore your builds here in the forum ? So now I have to read how to mak this build for the WZR-HP-G300NH :-)

wifi is still highly unstable for me,  router locks up after 2 days use.

For me at the moment also :-( But the latest trunk should solve this issue and I`m working to get the latest trunk to you guys :-) Give me a bit more time please.... Have to learn compiling openwrt from the scratch :-(

Hey Hey,

good to hear. I head a similare setup some month ago but my energy invoice went up like crazy. Thats why I baught me this router. Could you maybe make a last build ? I have to learn this all from the scratch and it will take a while more. There are some important fixes in the latest trunk so it would be nice of you.

thx
Daniel

For me the trunk r28363 is working very good. No issues anymore :-)

still no client bridge mode support i see, strange how gargoyle and dd-wrt offer this client bridge mode but its not offered by openwrt.

To get client bridge mode on the WZR-HP-G300NH you only need to install the relayd package and follow this instructions.

I make my own compiled OpenWrt image with relayd built in to deploy it to two routers bridged wirelessly and the only weak point is the low throughput (about 9MB/s) between them.
