Freshly installed dd-wrt on dir-300 and no internet. What to do

dd-wrt

With the d-link firmware I just connected the router and it worked, as is expected when using DHCP, but with dd-wrt I have no internet access.

It is configured with DHCP, and dd-wrt's wan status page reports that it is connected and that it has an ip address. Yet it is impossible to reach the internet.

If I disconnect the router and plugs the cable directly into my computer I get internet access, so it's obviously the dd-wrt software that isn't doing its job. However, I have no previous experience with the dd-wrt software and have no clue what to look for. I thought it would just work.

By the way, the power led is orange, the internet led is off, and wireless+lan1 is green. They all used to be green with the d-link firmware. Not sure if it's relevant, but now you know.

Does anyone have any idea what I should do to get internet access (besides reinstalling d-link's firmware)?

EDIT: It's a version B1. I read that it is very different from the A1 version, so I thought it may be relevant.

Ops we call that dirty NVRAM you problem more simple than that, make 30-30-30 reset that's all

  • With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
  • Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
  • Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds after that don't forget to make DHCP auto and of course don't forget to change IPaddress to something different for example 192.168.0.1 the second one 192.168.1.1

**NOTE:**some routers stuck and can't take auto DHCP until you make it static IP then change it to auto
