|
I was time-slicing cleaning my office, rearranging everything and updating a WRT54GL V 1.1 router to 8/12/10 version and then copying in a bin file from another router. The source might have been on another slightly different version - don't know now that I stop and think about it - and right now it's loaned out. I ended up with blinking power LED, all four port LEDs on and internet LED on. So I just placed it aside and did the same steps thinking it had failed - STUPID.
I've tried all the normal steps up through TFTP. Can't ever get it to ping and Windows 10 thinks the cable to the Ethernet port is disconnected.
Doing a JTAG just isn't worth the work/time to do it. Any ideas on other things I can try? |

Regarding the tftp; you set a static 192.168.1.x IP to the router LAN port, and don't get any response at power-up? And I presume you already tried a 30/30/30? _________________ # NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD # Repeater issues # DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo #
