I'm glad folks are still interested. I've got my Asus RT-N12 D1 online with DD-WRT. I'm going to be doing some testing this weekend and hope to have my instructions sometime Sunday and possibly Monday up in this thread. As luck would have it I'll be streaming an ESPN game over to my Roku today and this is just another thing I'll be able to test.
One thing I noticed first when switching out my original Buffalo router with the RT-N12 D1 is that everything sure seems a lot peppier. The Buffalo one is actually a much beefier Atheros unit with a lot more NVRAM. On the Asus Rt-N12 D1 DD-WRT pulls up faster as well as Internet pages....it could just all be in my head too. Nevertheless, I'm going to start some thorough testing and make sure that it does work like I want. Check back later.

As the heading states I have confirmed that DD-WRT can be loaded onto the Asus RT-N12 D1 and it does work. It does appear to be stable when using Build 18774 mini (dd-wrt.v24-18774_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini). When I say “works” I will list later what I have confirmed is working.
Originally when getting DD-WRT on this router I bricked it a few times. When I finally “thought” I had the process scaled down to a few easy steps it wouldn’t load and I bricked the router again (I actually bricked three separate RT-N12 D1s). Then I realized I had to go through all the crazy steps as I had the first time to get it right. Yes, what you are going to do will be a pain in the ass but I have confirmed from three separate RT-N12 D1 routers this does work. If you try and take a shortcut, good luck to you because this is the only way I could consistently load DD-WRT. If you did try to take a shortcut and bricked your router, head down to the Unbricking Your Asus Rt-N12 D1 towards the bottom of this post.
How to load DD-WRT on the Asus RT-N12 D1
The tools you are going to need are listed below:
- Asus Firmware: Version 3.0.0.4.374.813
- These versions of DD-WRT firmware:
-- dd-wrt.v24-14896_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12.trx
-- dd-wrt.v24-18774_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini.bin
- The Asus “Firmware Restoration” program.
All of these tools can be found in a ZIP file on my website. Download and then extract these files from here: www.craigonsite.com/s/Asus_RT-N12D1_DD-WRT.zip
Once you have the files downloaded you should be ready to go through these instructions for loading DD-WRT on the Asus RT-N12 D1. I can’t stress enough, this seems stupid to do it the way I have listed below BUT it’s the only way I can successfully and consistently load the firmware.
These steps below are for installing DD-WRT on a brand new Asus Rt-N12 D1 with the stock Asus firmware already on there. (If you have bricked your router, you need to first head down to Unbricking Your Asus Rt-N12 D1 which is further down this post otherwise, these instructions won’t work.
1. Setup your computer’s NIC to a static address. I suggest using 192.168.1.2
2. Plug your computer into the LAN port marked as “1” on the back of the router. It is VERY important you do NOT plug your computer into LAN Port 4. Make sure it’s in LAN port “1” on the back of the router.
3. Using only Internet Explorer (do not use Chrome, Firefox, or any other browser) go to the following address of the Asus firmware:
http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_FirmwareUpgrade_Content.asp
When prompted enter the username and password. The default for both is “admin”.
This will bring you into the Asus stock firmware where we can upload a TRX file for DD-WRT.
4. On this page Browse to the firmware you downloaded: dd-wrt.v24-14896_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12.trx then click on Upload.
5. After clicking Upload you’ll have to wait for the firmware to upload. The router will reboot a few times. That’s fine. Just wait, you’ll see the progress bar move. The router will go into a reboot cycle where it reboots over and over. Believe it or not, that’s actually a good thing.
6. Once it looks like the router starts the endless boot cycle where it powers up, all lights come on, then go off, etc, etc, turn the router off by pressing the power button OR unplugging it.
7. Now we need to install the Asus Firmware Restoration program (It’s the file you downloaded earlier called Rescue.exe). It’s the standard Next, Next, I accept, Finish type of install. At the end of the installation you will be given the choice to Launch the application. Go ahead and do so.
8. When the application launches, you need to browse to the location where you have your DD-WRT 18774 mini firmware (remember, that’s what you should have already downloaded). Do NOT hit the Upload button yet. We are just trying to get everything ready.
9. Grab a paper clip or something sharp and push and hold the reset button on the back of the router. The router should be powered off or unplugged while doing this.
10. Plug the power cord in or power the router back up and with the paper clip still in the reset button. We need to wait for the power light on the router to flash very slowly. It takes about 15-20 seconds before it starts to flash. It flashes in 5 second intervals, 5 seconds on, 5 seconds off
11. After it starts to slowly flash, take the paper clip out of the reset button
12. Hit the Upload button on the Asus Firmware Restoration application that you got ready.
13. Wait. You will eventually see the application connect to the router and upload the f
