Installing firmware

Installing firmware "from Oleg" on an ASUS router. Setting up and connecting ASUS RT-N10 C1 Asus rt n10 c1 firmware from Oleg

When the fiber was passed to me, I went to the store and bought the first router I came across - ASUS RT-N10 +. Here it is:

This miracle cost 1,300 rubles. The native firmware was very convenient, with a "housekeeping" interface, but it slowed down. After a couple of years, it turned out that this device no longer digests speeds of more than 30 megabits - the torrent client at this speed hung it almost completely.

Then I started looking for alternative firmware. The most famous is DD-WRT. I put the assembly under my router, but I was disappointed - the speed of work did not increase (as I found out later, the drivers were used the same as in the native firmware), and those settings that were previously done with a couple of clicks (like port forwarding for IPTV) can be was done only through editing the configs. And this despite the fact that the web interface is simply overloaded with all sorts of options. I did not find any other firmware at that time and scored on this matter.

But more recently I came across and, lo and behold, they had an assembly for my hardware! All the necessary settings remained in place, and the router stopped cutting the speed (it turns out, I have 20 megabits for transmission). I'll tell you about the installation.

First, you need to understand the router model. Asus has released about ten different RT-N10s - B1, C1, D1, LX and others. You can view the version on the sticker on the bottom of the router. The firmware is guaranteed to fit RT-N10 +, RT-N10 B1, RT-N10 C1 and is guaranteed not to fit a simple RT-N10 (but there is a firmware for it from Oleg). I can't say anything concrete about other models.

Now let's move on to the firmware itself. The forums usually offer one of the options:

  • Installing DD-WRT through the web interface of the native firmware and then installing Wive-NG through it.
  • Fill via JTAG
  • TFTP firmware

The first option did not work for me - the enemy file did not want to sew DD-WRT. For the second, I do not have a cable, and the third I have not tried - I'm not sure if it can be flashed at all through this interface (UPD: you can still). Fortunately, everything turned out to be easier with my router - there is a recovery utility through which you can flash anything. So, let's begin:

  1. We download the assembly (we are interested in Wive_WR-150N-RT3050-1T1R), as well as a set of utilities from the Asus website (UPD: it looks like the utilities from the site have disappeared, reloaded them to Ya.Disk) or from the disk from the kit. I also advise you to download the official firmware - if something goes wrong, you can return everything back.
  2. Install utilities. An important point - the recovery program is working only over a wired connection, so look for a network cable.
  3. Turn off the power of the router, hold down Reset and turn it on. You need to hold the button for about ten seconds.
  4. In the computer itself, go to "Network Connections" and open the properties of the adapter through which the router is connected. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 → Properties and specify the address 192.168.1.2 and the mask 255.255.255.0. I recommend disabling all other adapters - because of them, the program may not see the router.
  5. We launch the utility and select the firmware. I think that the interface of questions will not cause:

  1. We are stitching. At the end, you need to wait a while until the router boots up. If the wait is delayed and the web interface still does not open, try disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
  2. Login and password to the web interface - Admin / Admin, both with capital letter... If, after entering the data, you see something similar to the screenshot below, then the firmware was successful. If nothing works and you want to return it as it was, just repeat steps 2-6, but with the official firmware. Also, do not forget to return to "Network Connections" and return the settings as they were - to automatically obtain IP and DNS addresses.

I will not describe the interface, everything is quite intuitive and familiar to those who have set up a router at least once. I will dwell only on some points:
