TL-WDR3600 has gone unstable.

Post by 3to1ODDS »

I was attempting to get OpenVPN to work when suddenly both ssh and the web console stopped working, even after rebooting. Oddly enough everything connected is still passing data and wifi is working. Plus I can connect a OpenVPN client (sadly ping nor inet access work). Does the hardware reset button work on 1.9.1 build or am I going to have to do something else?

Hi firstboot is not working in 1.9.1 for me. My wrd3600 was messing up so i had to use MTD.

Run mount_root first Once the JFFS2 partition is mounted for read/write, use any of these commands to erase the files on it, which resets the router:
◾
firstboot
◾
rm -r /overlay/* (or /overlay/upper/* on some routers)
◾
mtd -r erase rootfs_data(this will reboot the device as part of the process)

mtd -r erase rootfs_data(
Is the one that worked for me.
