Verifying dd-wrt checksum (old docs out of date)

0

1

Trying to install dd-wrt firmware on TP Link Archer C9 v1 (AC1900) router. Want to verify the integrity of my download, but can't find any hashes or checksums. Docs on the wiki about how to verify are out of date/have broken links (forum page on topic). Can anyone tell me if there is an alternative way to know what my hash should be?

When confronted with this type of problem I create an MD5 sum and SHA sums and paste each into google to see what Google comes up with - this will often give you an indication.

Its not fullproof, or guaranteed, but its the best you can get if the checksums are not published alongside the download.

1Smart, thanks. Google turns up nothing, though, even when I try versions as far back as 2015. Guess I'll go with different custom router firmware. I can't believe this isn't a problem for more people. – mjcrom – 2017-10-15T18:07:42.273
