Your computer stores data in two places: long-term storage (including hard drives and CD-R/RWs) and short-term memory. (You'll also find memory chips on components such as video adapters, but we'll save that discussion for another day.) Storage devices, such as hard drives, maintain data even when they're turned off; memory, on the other hand, holds onto its contents only when the the computer is on and functioning. Turn off your computer, and the data in memory vanishes. Temporary memory is referred to as RAM, or random-access memory.

Re-Flash a WRT54G Router (v5+) |
|
|
|
|
WARNING: You may brick your router if something goes wrong. You assume full liability for whatever happens and hold nobody responsible for damages, tangible or intangible, resulting from the use or mis-use of information or software found here. You (the user) assumes all liability. In the event of a bricking of your router, the only possible course for recovery is to hardwire into the board with a JTAG cable, but, quite frankly, if you screwed up the flashing of your router then building a JTAG connection is probably a little more than you should do
It's a known fact that you can change the code in the firmware on a Linksys WRT54G (among dozens of other makes and models) router, but as we all know, flashing can be risky business and it could turn a working component into an over-priced door-stopper within seconds. Although this procedure can be used on numerous types of routers, please bear in mind the the method I'm writing about is that for the WRT54G v5 and v6 router and any attempting this on any other router is not recommended (without further research, of course.) |
