Used a Windows 7 laptop with the optional tftp client. I used the jffs2-factory.img file renamed to simply jffs2.img. The router only took about 30 seconds until it was in a state to accept the image, based on the lights and 2 seconds (literally) to tftp the flash over. I forgot to time how long until it rebooted. I'll better document it tomorrow. I haven't hooked up the router to anything other than the laptop used to flash it. No sanity checks done. I haven't considered whether to replace my wrt160n or tie it in some other way. I'm open to suggestions. If I want to best reproduce my procedure, are there any issues I should be aware of as far as reapplying the factory firmware, vs flashing over the installed cerowrt firmware?
