DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 4MB FLASH / 32MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version onto it! See 4/32 warning for details. 1) This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation. This means that even setting a password or changing simple network settings might not be possible any more, rendering the device effectively useless. See OpenWrt on 4/32 devices what you can do now. 2) OpenWrt support for this device has ended in 2022. 19.07.10 was the last official build for 4/32 devices. DSL will not work at all on devices with BCM63xx DSL chipset (due to unavailability of FLOSS driver for Broadcom chips). Consider this when choosing a device to buy, or when deciding to flash OpenWrt on your device because it is listed as supported. See Broadcom DSL, Unsupported: DSL modem and Broadcom BCM63xx for details.

It contains an example and a couple of explanations. OEM easy installation Get the firmware openwrt-DSL2650U-squashfs-cfe.bin Unplug the power cord Press the reset button, don't release it yet! Plug the power cord Wait 10 seconds Release the reset button Browse to http://192.168.1.1 Select openwrt-DSL2650U-squashfs-cfe.bin file Upgrade the image Wait for it to reboot Telnet to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to http://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed. OEM installation using the TFTP method If you want to upgrade using TFTP you follow these steps (as an alternative to the above install process. Upgrading OpenWrt → generic.sysupgrade If you have already installed OpenWrt and like to reflash for e.g. upgrading to a new OpenWrt version you can upgrade using the mtd command line tool. It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing. LuCI Web Upgrade Process Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI Wait for reboot Terminal Upgrade Process Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1 Use the following commands to upgrade. cd /tmp/ wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm63xx/openwrt-DSL2650U-squashfs-cfe.bin sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-DSL2650U-squashfs-cfe.bin If sysupgrade does not support this router, use the following commands. cd /tmp/ wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm63xx/openwrt-DSL2650U-squashfs-cfe.bin mtd write /tmp/openwrt-DSL2650U-squashfs-cfe.bin && reboot Basic configuration → Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
