REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted October 29, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 29, 2006 yeah I had some issues also upgrading.. it took 2 flashes.. but it is now up and running.. The issue was that i didn't know the username so I checked on dd-wrt.com and when you upgrade to this firmware the username changes to "root".
