Buffalo WBR2-G54 install Tomato Firmware by Shibby

--- Migrating from DD-WRT Firmware via Windows

  • You can use the DD-WRT web interface to flash to the Tomato firmware.
  • First, obtain the password for the router: In the web interface, go to Administration -> Commands. Type "nvram get http_passwd" into the text box and click "Run Commands". When the page reloads, it will show the password below. Make note of this password for later use.
    • Alternatively, you can obtain the password via telnet. Assuming your router can be found at 192.168.1.1, you'd type "telnet 192.168.1.1" at a command prompt to login to the router. Once logged in, type "nvram get http_passwd" and write down the result.
  • Download the Tomato firmware and extract it. In the "trx" subfolder, rename the file code.trx to code.bin. (DD-WRT does not recognize the .trx file extension as firmware.)
  • Update the firmware via the DD-WRT web interface. The Tomato firmware is now installed.
  • Access the Tomato web interface. Use the username "root" and the complete password provided by the "nvram get http_passwd" response above.
  • Browse to Administration > Configuration > Restore Default Configuration. Then select "Erase all data in NVRAM memory (thorough)" and click OK.
  • Please note that the instructions for flashing the firmware via the web interface will only work once you've installed DD-WRT (or perhaps another 3rd party firmware).
