The Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H definitely works on 12.09 and newer trunk builds.
Not sure of current trunk,
but in the next few days can try a build and push to my spare router.
I flashed via tftp initially, not sure about other methods. My semi-smart
switch was too slow to pick up
the link state change / arp propogation- but the environment worked if i was
plugged directly into a cheap
switch and/or into the switch that is part of another router.
To your question of upgrades;
1. the tftp flash is built into the bootloader, which OpenWRT does not
overwrite. IT is the first bit of
code that is run by the router before it kicks off to the kernel
2. If upgrading using LUCI i believe you use the 'sysupgrade' image, same as
if you were using the
command line utility 'sysupgrade'
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade
hope this helps
Thanks for the quick reply. I got openwrt successfully loaded by using
the sysupgrade image, and the directions for installation from the
buffalo-branded DD-wrt that I found on the WZR-600DHP product page. The
'factory firmware' delivered on my router was actually dd-wrt, and since
the WZR-600DHP page claims that router is essentially the same as mine, I
figured I'd give it a try...

Today, I attempted to load openwrt on the above hardware, using the
factory firmware flash
method, according to the instructions on the hardware-specific page. The
'upgrade firmware'
routine returned with a failure message after only about five seconds.
Thinking the image
might be corrupted, I downloaded it a second time, but both copies
compared equal, and still
no joy.
The table of hardware lists 'trunk' as the required openwrt version,
yet the
product-specific page indicates that the 12.09 release version is
appropriate. Is that
incorrect, and I should compile my own from the current svn?
Is there a possibility that the TFTP load image might work? Should I
set up the right
environment for tftp and try that image?
Assuming that I'm able to get openwrt loaded, and at some point I wish
to re-flash with a
newer release, how might I do it? Is the TFTP flash routine built-in to
the hardware, or is
it part of the factory firmware, and will disappear with a successful
flash of openwrt? If I
want to use the Luci facility to upgrade the firmware, what is an
'appropriate image'? Would I
use the 'factory' version, the 'tftp' version, or something else?
