You need to contact openwrt or ddwrt forums for help with their firmware.

I agree with this.Move your firmware file to the same directory as nmrpflash.exe
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges.
Switch to the directory where nmrpflash.exe and your firmware file are located. For example, if they are in a folder called flash on your Desktop, run the following command: cd C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Desktop\flash
Turn off the router, and connect it your computer using a network cable.
In the command prompt, run nmrpflash -L.
You'll get a list of network interfaces, named netX. Identify your Ethernet connection, for example net3.
Run nmrpflash -i net3 -f "YOUR FIRMWARE FILE NAME"
Turn on the router, and flashing should commence.
