Full steps can be found at https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0390.html

DISCLAIMER: This process will overwrite the current stock ROM on your router. I have tested these steps on my own devices, but I am not responsible if you damage or brick your device. Verify DD-WRT will work on your router model before starting.
