Finaly.... after years of experience with Linksys routers.....
HOW TO RECOVER WRT610N
- plug power in
- wait 1-2s
- press reset button
- keep pressing for 5s
- open your browser at 192.168.1.1
- upload new firmware
Timing is crucial. And some routers I've seen must NOT have any lan cable plugged in for this to work. Plug it only after you released reset button.
Please confirm on different 610ns!
If this works for you... please add to Wiki
WORKED for ME!
got Management and just flashed with 12472 Mega and got my router back online so excited!
You are correct in that the site survey does not work for the 5Ghz band. But, you don't actually need to use the site survey to get a client bridge running. Just set the SSID for wl1 to the same SSID as your host AP 5Ghz radio... Use NA-Only on wl1 with wpa2/aes. Give that a shot.
I understand what you are saying. All is configured as it should be I believe. I bring up the site survey thing as it seems like the antennae is not even seeing the 5ghz band. I suppose the site survey thing doesn't have to work but it always has so far for me... it is weird that with the wl1 enabled I cannot even see the network,SSID broadcast is enabled for this network (joining it obviously is the next step).I will double check everything. Thanks for the clarification of the modes . What build are you using again. I am also wondering about the scenario wherein you have both antennas going set up as a wireless bridge which gets utilized for whatever is trying to access the bridge?
-- clarified to release the reset button before plugging ethernet back in
-- added note that the Magic Eko Recovery will also work for CFE.12 _________________

I'm assuming the 5Ghz site-survey is a bug - it's never worked for me on the 5Ghz band. But, as I said, it's not needed to get the client bridge up and running, so I don't miss it much. I'm currently using build 12367 mini-usb-ftp, but I'm sure client bridge mode works in all of recent releases, as I've used most.
I'm not sure I understand your last question, but I will say this - since there are reboot issues when both radios are enabled, I haven't done much testing with them both enabled... I only have the 5Ghz radio enabled.
Changed:
-- noted partial Wireless MAC FIX in 12427
-- clarified that the TFTP thing really isn't an Issue anymore
-- added note about DynDNS breakage in 12424 _________________
