Excellent.  I was reciting that from memory, and worried I had missed
something.

Now that my site [1] is back under my ownership and not a place for
militant Islamic support (yeah, that was fun, btw), I'll do that. The
community site is loaded with different and contradictory steps, and the
forums are (or were) active, which of course means the good stuff gets
buried deep.

It will be important for me to do that since I'm about to engage in
another topic with DD-WRT: multiple ISPs and how to "easily" set up the
routing.

I haven't a clue honestly.  I have seen, on occasion, the 30-30-30 reset
do something more than a regular reset, but those occasions seem to be,
in my experience, rare.  Not only that, Asus routers aren't exactly fond
of this procedure (ask my two bricks how they are doing).

I know not of the peacock thread.  As you may have guessed with my
response above, I find their good bits buried, and most of the time I
don't bother looking because I know I'll get sucked into (somewhat
related) debates about something.

I'll just assume some one was strutting around like they knew all about
the DD-WRT software and the hardware it runs on.

[1] Wow, you actually came down here to find the site?  It is very low
on content at the moment (refocus thanks to the hacking).

Don't get any of the brown stuff on ya.
