# Ensure you have a physical ethernet connection to your router, and disable your wireless adapter, antivirus/firewall protection, and any software that makes strong use of your network (BitTorrent, Streaming Audio/Video, etc).
# Perform a [[TechInfoDepot:DD-WRT/Hard reset or 30/30/30|hard 30/30/30]] reset.
# Navigate to <nowiki>http://192.168.1.1/</nowiki> in your web browser of choice.
# Enter no username, and the password "admin".
# Go to the administration tab. Click on firmware upgrade.
# Browse to the .bin file you downloaded in step 2
# Click on the upgrade button and WAIT for the upgrade successful message.
# <strong>Power cycle your router</strong>. Wait until you can see the DD-WRT password screen at <nowiki>http://192.168.1.1/</nowiki>.
# <strong>Perform another [[TechInfoDepot:DD-WRT/Hard reset or 30/30/30|30/30/30]] reset on your router</strong>. Wait until you can see the password screen at <nowiki>http://192.168.1.1/</nowiki>.
# Set a new username and password, and continue on to configure your router like normal.

You can now upgrade to any generic DD-WRT build except Mega and Micro. Be sure to always do a hard reset prior to flashing another build, do a power cycle followed by another hard reset after flashing, and NEVER re-use a configuration file from a previous build or another router. Always reconfigure from scratch.

==Hardware Modification==
[http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=54007 lim_daniel] Wrote:

Just managed to recover my WRT160N from being bricked, and decided to mod the router since warranty is gone...

There are 2 tiny antennas on the PCB. And they are soldered on to the right top side of the PCB. The solder points for the antennas are considerably large and easy to solder even for beginners.

I ripped 2 RP-SMA connectors from 2 old aironet bridges and soldered them onto the PCB. Took 2 old linksys antenna and plugged them in.

I have not substantiated if the coverage is better yet, but preliminary tests shown consistency over a further distance.

It works very well.
