Hi last week i spend in upgrade of my cheap WGR614v9 (2MB Flash/8MB RAM) to WGR614v8.
First of all i try with many RAM Chips until i found one working 32MB.
Then i change flash chip with ST 25P32 - 4MB serial.
I have fullflash from WGR614v8 and mod nvram_init to 0x000B my router v9 become v8 with 32MB RAM. Problem is when i update router with DD-WRT and he is recognised as Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS MAC Adresses of WAN and LAN are same and some leds are swapped (power=V(and is yellow) and Internet form green becomes yellow)
Is this a normal behavior?
I doubt anyone has gone to the extent that you have to really know.
You are in untested territory. Probably no one can say what normal behavior in this scenario.
could u explain how u did this and what ics u used ?
thanks
i have a v9 and im not using it because i cant add dd-wrt or openwrt to it
Just change ram and flash chip with bigger capacity. My router now is with 32MB ram and 4MB flash. Ram chips are from old SDRAM DIMM 128MB 4chips x 32MB and flash is 25p32.
Also you need fullflash readed from V8 Router with programmer (my is from spiflash.org)
