Download the Flash Files
Go to http://dd=
-wrt.com and click Router Dat=
abase
. Search for "D-Link DIR-882".
You need to download two files. First download the "factory-to-ddwrt= .bin" file and the dlink-dir882-a1-webflash.bin file. The file version chan= ges, so download the latest file. My date for the file shows 2018-10-10.
Enter Flash Mode
Now for the fun part. It's not easy as press upload on the router GU= I and flashing DD-WRT firmware on the router, so you need to put your route= r in crash recovery mode to install the new firmware.You cannot do = this via the d-link provided UI.
Reset to Recovery Mode - Press and hold the reset button on the rout= er. While keeping that pressed, pull the power cable out and insert it back= after 5-10 seconds.Now let go of the reset button. Wait for about a minute= or two and you will see the LEDs blinking ORANGE.
Setup PC/MAC
Assign your computer an IP address of 192.168.0.2 manually. You have= to do this by going in the network settings and setting it as =E2=80=98man= ual=E2=80=99. Connect a network cable from your LAN port on the router to the Ethernet = port on computer.
Connect PC/Mac to
Now open your browser and goto http://192.168.0.1. This is the IP of your router and = 192.168.0.2 is the IP of your computer. This makes it easy for your compute= r to talk to the router directly through wired connection. The D-Link recov= ery page should display now. In case you don=E2= =80=99t see it, then the recovery mode failed and you will have to repeat t= he above steps again.
Install Factory-to-ddwrt Bin File
Browse to factory-to-ddwrt.bin = ;file and select. Do not press Upload button just yet. You should no= w repeat step 4 above to reset router again (Thanks Lee Bowie). Usually tak= es about 5-10 mins.
Install full DD-WRT
Once the process finishes uploading, remove the manual address on yo= ur computer, set it to DHCP or your regular method to obtain IP address to = connect to the network.
Goto 192.168.1.1. This is the default IP DD-WRT assigns once it is f= lashed. You should now see DD-WRT UI. Create a username and password to log= in.
Now goto Administration > Firmware Upgrade and browse to = the "webflash.bin" file. You will have access to pretty awesome settings of= fered by DD-WRT. Using Firefox works= best!
