Linksys E3000 Manual

Build Information
Brainslayer added E3000 support starting from 14929 kernel 2.6 (in the broadcom_K26 folder).
Also it has been asked about the builds with e2k-e3k name in them, these builds when already running dd-wrt,
you can simply use one of those builds to upgrade, but the initial flash should always be done with the trailed
build (build with the unit only name in it) linked above.
Useful Tips
Cooling can be very important for E-series routers, due to the lack of airflow. It can affect
performance and wireless stability. An easy mod to improve airflow under the unit is in this post by

If you experience disconnects from the Internet/Network with this router feel free to try the following
settings:
•
Wireless > Channel > Ch 161 (5GhZ)
Wireless > Channel > Ch 9 (2.4GhZ)
Wireless > Security > WPA2 Personal - AES
Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings > Beacon Interval: 75
Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings > Fragmentation Threshold: 2306
Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings > RTS Threshold: 2307
Security > Firewall > Block Anonymous WAN Access <--- Uncheck
Wireless-N Configuration
From the Wireless-N_Configuration wiki: AES security is required for 802.11n, as TKIP will force 802.11g.
AES+TKIP is also allowed, but only WPA2+AES is recommended.
Printing
Printer Sharing gives a general description how to configure the router to connect a printer on the USB port.
However it describes too much and things that are not needed or even not working for the E3000 router.
Following procedure works with firmware DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/24/10) mega, the latest version at the
moment of writing.
So here a more specific description how to enable printing.
On the web interface of the router (http://192.168.1.1):
Enable "Core USB Support", "USB 1.1 Support (UHCI)", "USB 1.1 Support (OHCI)", "USB 2.0
Support", "USB Printer Support" on the Services tab (all items under "USB Support" except for "USB
Storage Support"). Note that the router did not recognize my printer if I left the USB 1.1 drivers
unselected. This even though the printer supports USB 2.0.

It is *not* necesary to enable JFFS2 support via Administration, Management•
Check that Secure Shell is enabled via Services, Service. SSHd and Password Login must be enabled•
