I was trying to upgrade to the latest 42803( mar 2020) from a 2017 build and now the router has both 2 and 5ghz are red. I have no web access as 192.168.1.1 does not work.

The big problem is when I go to dd-wrt ssid, it wants a password. Never gave it one and don’t know what it is. I can see my Ethernet cable plugged into port 5 but no go. I have tried 30/30/30 and it doesn’t shake it loose either.

Any help would be appreciated

Password is on the bottom.

Sorry, tried that already. It was “password” and didn’t work

Found a laptop with Ethernet. Put the cable into port 1. Tried GUI and no connect. Ran diagnostics tool on win10. Tried again and login screen appeared. Thanks for help.

Hi BHill21,

I am having the same issue. I flashed the on it and now I cannot reach it any more. I used it as an acces point with no DHCP. I am not sure if it even had a set ip address, since my router had an dhcp active.

How ever I tried you method. Lan 1 is the one on the left side, right? I gave my computer a set IP 192.168.1.4 and I cannot connect to eigther 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 (which was the ip the EX6200 was reachable before).

Any other suggestions? If I attach it to my network the EX6200 only works as a network switch, which is also weird...

any help is appreciated.

I guess I didn't see this one before. You don't 30/30/30 this device. Only thing I can suggest is to press and hold the reset button for ~7-10 seconds, release, let it reboot and try again. I'm not going to ask what build you flashed to it.

I used the one one the Router Database:

V3.0 40559. https://dd-wrt.com/support/router-database/?model=EX6200_v1

Reset is not wroking. Or at least not that I can tell. I can press it as long as 2 minutes and nothing is happening.

That @#$%^&*! router database. Still doesn't have the disclaimer yet, I bet. You should only have to press it until the link lights do their thing.

Not sure if you have to TFTP, serial recovery, or nmrpflash those things to recover them.
