I need help badly.

I upgraded to DD-WRT firmware in my Asus Router RT-N16 broadband router. I was not satisfied with the performance and my USB was not working as expected, I reverted back to stock firmware successfully.

Now I am not able to use wireless. The 2.4ghz led on my router does not light up. There is no separate button to light it up on the router.

I did NVram clear couple of times. Did a router reset many a times. Re-flashed the stock firmware from webgui and also tried Asus firmware restoration utility but in vain.

Webgui is giving me options to configure wireless and which I configured but still no change.

As a last resort I did a telnet to my router and issued ifconfig command (read it somewhere on the internet) to check the interfaces. I see only br0, eth0 and vlan0. I could not find wifi?

Hello Ebigrad
Thanks for the reply.

Once I was back to stock firmware, the wifi led was working fine but for some reason the settings were not getting saved so I did a factory reset which did not solve the problem. I then did a hard reset post that the wifi led did not glow ever.

I have a question, If I go back to dd-wrt will the wifi work? The main reason for going back to stock firmware was that my NTFS partition was not getting recognized after attaching the usb and I was not able to make my printer work.

I know there are linux experts out there who can easily deal with this problem and help me out go get my wifi back.

Thanks once again.
