I have tried to upgrade a Buffalo WHR G300N from a dd-wrt firmware probably from 090309 to BS build 010509.

I upgraded with reset to factory defaults.

After the upgrade I have not been in contact with it.
It is not giving out dhcp-adresses and is not visible in wireless networks. I have tried to reset with 30 seconds power on, 30 seconds power off and 30 seconds power on.

I cannot ping it on 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.
Power and DIAG leds are always on. 3 other leds only just after power-on.

Any chance to get it back ?

It's not bricked.

That router has a recovery mode, but you only have 3 seconds to catch it.

Set your router to 192.168.11.2

You will be TFTP'ing the firmware to 192.168.11.1

you can TFTP push the 030309 firmware build to the router.

030309 is currently the latest build that works with the WHR-G300N

Any later ones just make the router reboot.

There are a LOT of other threads on this.

Thank you for your help.

With the 162.168.11.1 address, I could reach the router and tftp a 030309-firmware into it
