Hello all,


I was given a LinkSys Router model WRT150N version 1.1  I downloaded the software for it or what I thought is the right one.  I used the hsmm-mesh-0.4.2-wrt150n.bin file. It starts to upload into the router then stops half way and reverts back to the preloaded Linksys software. I'm wondering if there is a version of this router v1 and I have a newer version being v1.1  I've already upgraded 9 WRT54g(gs & gl) models and they work fine with HSMM-Mesh, so re-flashing is not new to me.


Any ideas on this?

Thanks for any help or comments.

Sounds like this router requires a special file before a 3rd party firmware will load. Try flashing d-wrt then the hsmm firmware. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WRT150N

On the front page of the hsmm-mesh.org webpage there is a link to "What hardware to use". It does not include the WRT150. If you get it working, let us know what you did. -Glenn KD5MFW

Hi Glenn, What I did was look on front page and , yes I see the hardware to use. What I did see though, was on the software files section a listing for the WRT150N model. That's why I tried to use it, figuring since it was given to me I could afford to play with it and if it bricked it was ok.


Now, as inuyasha.rules has stated, I did do some searching on this unit. It does appear to have enough flash memory in it. I did find on the dd-wrt web site that on some of the WRT150N units you have to do a simple software flash before it will accept a third party software upgrade. So with that in mind, I'll be trying that later to day after work.


I will keep all posted if I get it to flash and work.
