Try re-flashing, resetting or return to original bin if you backed it up or can get from your router manufacturer; then download a new version of the bin and try again. Mark,

After I flashed my router, and changed the login password all the text characters changed. They looked like some kind of chinese characters, but now like square type figures. Any ideas how to fix this? HELP! After I flashed my router, and changed the login password all the text characters changed.

WRT160N, V1, flashed with the Canadian firmware. My problem: ALWAYS dropping the wireless connection on my Dell - at least 5 times a day, often once every 15 minutes Read about this for an hour or so to make sure i knew the benefits and how to do it... Then I did the flash to mini and then flash to standard. NOW it works perfectly! Things I love: -No more connection drops -WPA2-PSK security with no connection problems -slight increase in range (tx pwr set to 70) -VPN works -multiple network connected (G/N) -so much more functional than the stock firmware!! THANK YOU for this helpful guide! Fantastic!

I took a look to the "support DD-WRT firmware" web page and it seems my router isn't listed. It's brand new and it's the WRT-160N V3 I won't take any chance, so I won't install DD-WRT for now. Is there any further release scheduled to work perfectly with my router? At least I upgraded the OEM firmware to Firmware Version: v3.0.00 build 012Apr 23, 2009 Thanks! Hi!

This will allow you to get over the 3MB flash memory limit and get a real tool on that router." So in my understanding after loading these 2 DD-WRT bins (generic and std) I have to load OEM (factory) firmware or not. The phrase "reinstall the firmware" is confusing. Which firmware to reinstall? Thanks for your comments. Can someone explain me what the following statement means:

Then try change to english or another language. Check the default language of the router, maybe chinesse is selected. Then try change to english or another language.
