Thanks d3fz. To enter failsafe, I tried pressing the reset/WDS button on power up of the router, and many variations on that procedure: holding it for 3-7 seconds, tapping it rapidly, waiting for router activity via Wireshark, you name it. None of them seem to get it into "failsafe." I've ...

Sorry this reply is so late and I hope you've figured out your issue. I can't think of any crash logs or cpu load logs anywhere, but perhaps someone more familiar with ssh can help. Is there something else using up the CPU? A plugin perhaps? Overheating maybe? Just before I bricked my WDR4300, I had...

After working on a friend's router, I thought I'd run some maintenance on mine. I started off by u pgrading the firmware to 1.9.2 from 1.8.1 on my WDR4300. I made couple of attempts to create backups (on different machines) but they all failed; either freezing and or outputting a 0 byte file. Despit...
