Linksys E1000

This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram.
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.

Linksys E1000 v1 is an 802.11n router. It has the same hardware as Linksys WRT160Nv3 and Cisco Valet M10 v1.

Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

Use the brcm47xx-mips74k-linksys-e1000-v1-v2-v2.1-squashfs.bin firmware image as shown above.

OEM installation using the TFTP method: Does not work, because of some kind of misconfiguration in the bootloader; use serial-initiated TFTP flashing instead (REQUIRES TTL SERIAL ACCESS).

TFTP flashing initiated via serial: works;

flash -noheader : flash1.trx

at CFE prompt.

The serial pins are labeled JP12 thru JP16.

VCC JP12
TX JP13
RX JP14
Gnd JP16
