E1200v2 with DD-WRT

DD-WRT works very well on the E1200v2, it's very solid.

However, there is one little bug (or maybe feature?).

Just after DD-WRT has been installed and you need to access the router for the very first time, the wired connection will not work. Odd.

Luckily, the wireless connection (ssid: DD-WRT) will work. Use the wireless connection to make the username and the password for the unit, then reboot the unit. After that, the wired and the wireless connections will both work fine.

Sadly, there are no wireless drivers with OpenWRT. Thus, DD-WRT would be the very best to use on this little router. I have it working as a router bridge, and it's doing very well.
