Happy New Year. C'est miraculeux! Le monde, c'existe encore, et moi aussi! This astonishes me every morning, and especially on January 1; but daily it elates me less.
No, there's no visible difference between the versions of the Travel Router, except that (just above the serial number) versions 2.0 and 2.1 state the version number after the model number, but version 1 has only the model number, WTR54GS.
My v1 came today and it powered up. But that's all it did. It cannot be found by my PCs. My v2.1 can be found. I connected a Cat5 and looked at the admin page, wireless is on. I did 30-30-30 and waited. Nada.
There must be something really obvious I am missing because the router seems to respond. So what can it be and how can I get it to be found?

Just wondering if any WTR54GS owners have seen this before. When I telnet into mine, the prompt I get is:
Code:
\u@\h:\w\$
Normally isn't it root@<routername> or something like that?
The device has been working fine and I just happened to pop in there via telnet to check the nvram. "ls" doesn't seem to work either. Tried power cycling with no change.

DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/05/10) micro - build 15362
Thanks
I believe that that's the prompt for micro builds due to crippled busybox, its the same prompt for the micro builds I run anyway. _________________ 1 WRT160N v3 - remote AP WPA2 Personal Aes dd-wrt-mini-trailed CPU OC400,
2 wrt54G v3(BCM4712 chip rev 1, corerev=7)- AP WPA2 Personal Aes dd-wrt-mini-generic CPU OC228,
1 wrt54gs v6 - remote AP WPA2 Personal Aes dd-wrt-micro CPU OC228 ,
3 WAP54g v3 - repeater, client Bridge, repeater bridge dd-wrt-micro CPU OC225,
1 NetGear WNR2000 v3 AP Atheros AR7241 ver 1 rev 1.1 (0x0101) Trailed build CPU OC360
DD-WRT usually the most current BS builds and less frequently lately EKO builds(because of new BS rules that eliminated EKO builds I used).

Followed these instructions
1) Set your PC's IP to 192.168.16.10
2) Log into WTR at 192.168.16.1, password: admin
3) Go to: Administration -> Factory defaults -> "Restore factory Defaults"
4) Click "Continue"
5) Close your browser window
6) Set your PC's IP to 192.168.1.10
7) Start Sercomm "Upgrade Utility"
Select your ethernet adapter
9) Press "Browse target" button
10) MAC of your WTR will apear in "Devices List"
11) Press "Files", select: for v1: WTRv1_sercomm.bin; for v2 and v2.1: WTRv2x_sercomm.bin, press OK
12) Press "Upgrade", wait until upgrade completes, press OK
13) Important: WAIT ANOTHER 3 MINUTES
Now I am stuck... I can't get a wireless connection to my router. I can't connect wired. So I am unable to proceed.
The power light is an amber color. No other lights turn on unless I plug a cable in... Then the appropriate light will turn on. I haven't gotten the wireless light to turn back on.

OK, got a weird one. My WTR54GS has been working great for a while now. Then suddenly things were getting a little wacky. My Chumby had all sorts of issues connecting to it and when I would look at the Sys Info, it would always show that the Wireless Rate was 1 Mbps. (I brought the Chumby home and it worked just fine there). Power cycle the WTR and it would connect for a bit but then the rate would suddenly drop back down to 1 with very poor connections. So, did a 30//30/30, put on the latest Micro. Now it will no longer snag a WAN IP address and I can't connect to the radio at all.
Could my lil WTR be dead?
Thanks
MOD EDIT: These long device specific threads become an impossible mess that no one reads in full. Please post specific problems in a NEW thread in the forum AFTER reading all of the broadcom forum announcements and see the information in the wiki on this router. Thread locked.
