Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2020 23:18 Post subject: E4200 is not presenting WebGUI
I have an Linksys E4200 v1. I followed the instructions on this wiki page to install build 21676. I installed what's on the link there (dd-wrt.v24-21676_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e4200.bin). I was able to successfully install the firmware and get dd-wrt working. I played around with some settings including changing the IP of the router to 192.168.1.210. I wanted to take it back to default settings so I did a 30/30/30 reset.
Now I cannot get to the WebGUI. I can ping 192.168.1.1 and I get a TTL of 64. However, as soon as I browse to 192.168.1.1 in the browser, the pings start timing out. Also the dd-wrt SSID is showing up but I cannot connect to it. A power cycle will get it back up and running again. I can actually telnet and log in to the router. I tried doing an nvram reset from telnet as well but it didn't make any difference.
What else can I do to get this thing up and running again?

I guess when the other one I have coming in from Canada arrives, I will see what is the newest initial flash version is and edit the wiki. This is getting tiring explaining what browser to use, and what path to upgrade firmware through. You probably don't want to stay on K2.6 if you upgrade to any builds from this year. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

So I'm kind of confused as to which build I should use. The E4200 wiki says the E4200 works well with builds >32xxx but doesn't mention a specific build. The peacock page looks to be out of date as it doesn't even mention 32xxx builds. Just pointing me to a stable build that I can use would be greatly appreciated!
I don't care about using a recent build. I just want to get this hardware running in a stable fashion so I can use it as a client bridge.
Also how will I get this fimrware onto the router? TFTP flash?

Firefox ESR 52 portable on Windows, or IE. There is a sticky at the top of this forum for minimum recommended builds. I'm not going to keep posting how-to's for people who don't search and read. You may find one of my posts if you look hard enough. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I've been reading a lot. The E4200 page says to use K3X mega builds > 32xxx. The peacock page says to use K26 builds. The E4200 build thread was locked in 2011 so is obviously out of date. Besides those sources I can't really find any information on what is the best build for the E4200. There are 4 sticky's at the top of this forum, none of which have relevant information as to which build I should use. Sounds like you have no desire to help so I will figure it out on my own.
I wasn't asking for instructions I was asking if TFTP is the proper way to do it. I assumed it is just because that seems to be the only way without the GUI available. Was just looking for confirmation that this is the way to go.
