Hi,
When on a native linux machine, what is the easiest way to install oleg firmware? Asus Firmware Restoration Tool is a windows app.
Sicerely
The easiest way is to install new firmware from Web Interface. Second option is to use atftp, but first you must put the router into firmware restoration mode. To do it, you should power off router, hold reset button and in the same time connect power cable. The power led should start blinking. Next connect your computer into LAN1 port and set static IP address (192.168.1.2 for example) and gateway IP (192.168.1.1). To flash the firmware issue command:
atftp --trace --option "timeout 1" --option "mode octet" --put --local-file WL500gpv2-1.9.2.7-d-r1000.trx 192.168.1.1
Replace WL500gpv2-1.9.2.7-d-r1000.trx with your firmware version. You will see messages indicating progress. After about 5 minutes manually restart router. If it start respond to ping, you can use Web interface to configure it.
