I am not familiar with the Viewxsonic WAPBR-100, but I am familiar with DD-WRT, and have installed it on several Linksys routers. I have to say, it is a huge improvement over what Linksys ships!

Hooray for Open Source once again!

Hi-- I had an old WAPBR-100 and followed these directions, which worked flawlessly. My noob problem now is knowing exactly how to set the dd-wrt firmware. I want to use this to access my existing wireless network for my replaytv. Is this best set up as an access point, a client bridge, etc? What are the best settings in terms of ip addresses, etc? Thanks

The fix for the WLAN LED not functioning is resolved in a post on the DD-WRT website if anyone is having that issue after upgrade: http://wwwn.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9464&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15&sid=00e676453738aecd6dc6de0ba1ede3ae

I never went from the viewsonic firmware directly to dd-wrt (though, I can't imagine why it should not work)

There was one step in my original upgrade to Linksys firmware post that may be key: "Browse to http://192.168.1.2/fw-conf.asp and on this simple form, set "Firmware Header" to "disable" then click Apply. Wait. Then click 'Go Home.'"

I tried to find out if you could fix your brick by forcing the firmware in via TFTP, but I think that that only works with a wrt54g. Source: http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/WAPBR100Howto.html

Did you have to change the .bin to .trx ? Can you do it without upgrading to linksys? I have another one but I don't want to have another brick.

I did it just a couple of days before you. Works pretty well, plus its nice to have the same interface on all of my wireless gear.
