Hello,
I just applied the latest version of DD-WRT to my Airlink 101 AR670W. After I installed it, my LAN ports no longer work! Strangely, the wireless works fine. I can get to internet from the wireless network. But the 4 LAN ports do not work. I need them to work.
I telnetted into the device and did an ifconfig. Here are the results:
It seems that bridge0 aka br0, actually has the local IP 192.186.1.1 applied to it. If I then go look in the bridging table, it says interface ra0 is an interface on bridge br0 but no other physical interfaces are in br0. I assume ra0 is probably the wireless.
If anyone has any insight please post it here. Maybe just an ifconfig to compare would be nice.
It looks like the change made was to add VLAN1 (in addition to ra0) to bridge br0. VLAN1 was not a member of br0 in 13064.
I suppose that change could have been made via the command shell if I a) knew which interface represented the internal ports and b) knew the command syntax :-)

I have the same problem. If there's no web access how did you solve it? Can you give me the link to the AR670W main thread.
When I had this problem with 13064, I was still able to access the router over wireless. So I carefully reflashed 13069 wirelessly.
At this point, rather than using 13069 which requires you to wade through 10 forum pages to find a buried link to some random downloader site that makes you wait a minute before your download starts and leaves you less than certain that you have a trojan free version, I suggest using the latest ddwrt hosted test build, 13525. The link for that build is:

I have those same dead lan ports but still can access the router via wireless. No mater what built version of DD-wrt is flashed the LAN ports stay dead. I flashed through wireless after the dead ports appeared.
I can't reach the recovery page which is mentioned under page 29 in the main thread as I have tried at least 100 times.
Is there another way of reactivating the LAN ports via command line under Telnet? As I said wireless works fine but just no LAN
what other options are out there to get at least the original firmware back on there?

I commented on another thread of yours, but I found a subset of these routers didn't work above 12874. If you can get in wirelessly, set the WAN to be part of the switch. Since it is separate you should be able to use that even when the LAN ports are not working, Then I would try and reflash 12874.
ARE you holding the reset button in when you plug it in and wait 30 sec?
Remember a 30-30-30 reset means, Hold the button for 30 sec while powered, then while your still holding it in, pull the plug for 30 sec, then keep holding the button in, while you plug it in, and keep holding the reset for another 30 sec. If you want the factory firmware, you will need to get into recovery mode I believe to load it, I don't think you can load it from DD-WRT.
