 +==== TFTP Recovery ====
 +
 +To perform a TFTP recovery on this model:
 +
 +  * Set your IP address to ''192.168.11.2''
 +  * Set a static arp entry for ''192.168.11.1'' to ''aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff'' (it doesn't seem to matter what mac address you use as long as you set it statically)
 +  * TFTP an image while the red DIAG light is lit during boot. After successful upload DIAG light will flash slow, then fast.
 +
 +The TFTP images will be under the "ar71xx" branch rather than the "atheros" branch, e.g. [[https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-whr-hp-g300n-squashfs-tftp.bin]]
 +
 +
 +==== TFTP Recovery on Mac os X ====
 +
 +Set your ethernet interface ip on 192.168.11.2
 +
 +Set your ethernet interface netmask on 255.255.255.0
 +
 +Add arp entry for 192.168.11.1 when the ethernet interface is up
 +
 +''sudo arp -s 192.168.11.1 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff'' 
 +
 +Download the tftp version of the right firmware
 +Change the directory of your prompt to the firmware download directory
 +cd /Users/yourname/Downloads/
 +
 +Send your firware image with tftp
 +
 +''tftp''
 +
 +*from this point, you're under tftp command prompt, the "tftp>" is the prompt tftp gives you, you just need to type the command AFTER that.
 +
 +''tftp> connect 192.168.11.1
 +
 +tftp> verbose
 +
 +tftp> binary
 +
 +tftp> trace
 +
 +tftp> rexmt 1 
 +
 +tftp> timeout 60'' 
 +
 +Power on your router on and plug your ethernet on a LAN port
 +
 +Send the command put until is success 
 +
 +''tftp> put linux.bin''
 +
 +''putting linux.bin to 192.168.11.1:linux.bin [octet]
 +sent WRQ <file=linux.bin, mode=octet>
 +tftp: sendto: Can't assign requested address''
 +
 +''tftp> put linux.bin''

 +
 +Wait and see ! ( at lease 10 min ) 
 +
 +The ROUTER light will flash and stop !
 +
 +Reboot and Enjoy 
 +
 +==== Install via DD-WRT Interface ====
 +
 +My device a WHR-HP-G300N-EU Would *not* work via TFTP, AFTP, CURL or anything and was reluctant to get the soldering iron to a new device.
 +
 +Download the firmware 
 +[[http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-whr-hp-g300n-squashfs-factory.bin
 +]]
 +
 +With a web browser navigate to 192.168.11.1, select the Administration tab, Firmware tab, choose the file and click "Upgrade" 
 +
 +Voila
 +
 +**Note (Feb 2015)**
 +
 +- install of dd-wrt-buffalo-to-ddwrt via tftp or from buffalo interface works. Then, however, dd-wrt didn't accept (anymore?) any of the Barrier Breaker 14.07 versions (''openwrt-ar71xx-generic-whr-hp-g300n-*''). (** Updated Sep 2015 **) DD-WRT web interface can be used to upgrade to the Chaos Calmer 15.05 release (''openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-whr-hp-g300n-squashfs-factory.bin'')
 +
 +- so after reinstalling the buffalo factory fw via tftp (actually, Japanese version, as it doesn't accept the US version and was purchased in Japan) and then could, from the interface, upgrade to ''openwrt-ar71xx-generic-whr-hp-g300n-squashfs-factory.bin'' (nothing happens during the upgrade [WAN lamp fixed] so waited 5 mn ... then removed the cable ... Actually was OK. However, just in case, did, from OpenWrt interface, an upgrade to the ''sysupgrade'' bin to have something clean for sure).
 +Works very well!
