Has anyone been able to get into a NS2 to get it back to factory. Can never get an answer and no one has an answer in forum. Ns2 is totally useless after using this dd-wrt firmware.

If it worked, I would have never posted. Obviously it is not working. I have attempted multiple times and it always fails to upload the "same way I flashed it to dd-wrt". I have gone into the admin screen and also tried uploading thru tftp. I've asked for help on this and I never seem to get an answer. That's the problem. No beef with U but if I ask for help after it does not work, then you would think there is a problem with the firmware or the proceedure the forum is giving. Are we not here to share good information?

The NS2 I have is bricked. I only see dd-wrt firmware gui but when I goto the administration field and do a firmware upgrade, it rejects the factory firmware. I had v2.2.1.bin and it will say "upgrade failed" whenever i upload. How do I get it back to factory. I already hit the reset button for 10 seconds, then stood on one foot and held my arm out pointing north(you got the idea) and all that but it will not take. Can you help? All I want is my factory firmware back. Nothing more. Once I can do that, I'll get out of the forum.
Thank you
Regards

use TFTP and not the webinterface for reverting _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking? Sounds like a Mac to me.." - Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_5YDRWqGE&t=60s

I already tried tftp using cmd. It did not get me anywhere. It would time out. Then I used the linksys tftp and that did nothing but fail too. I was then told to try dd-wrt.v23_micro_wrt54gs bin and that did worse. Now I cannot get to ping it. I don't know what ip to send it to. Have I bricked it again or is there a solution to bring it back. Any other ideas on reverting to factory firmware. I see the lan light blinking when attempting a ping. How do I know what ip address it is on? I used 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 but nothing. I need some other ideas even if I have to connect to it some other way. I am open to some ideas. What tftp program shoud I be using????

correct. you must use the ubnt firmware and not the linksys firmware. and you must push the reset button on power on for 10 seconds to get into recovery tftp mode _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

this is all documented in the flashing instruction. the ip is 192.168.1.20
remember that you installed dd-wrt in the same way, so why dont you look into the documentation? and why do you use the wrong files and ip's now? _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?
