WRT54GL Bricked?
Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2019 3:22 am
Good morning everyone,
I tried to install version 1.6.2 on my WRT54GL and when i tried to set it up as an access point, it was not particularly responsive nor broadcasting a wireless signal, so I thought I would return to DD-WRT. I tried flashing it a couple of times but the flash would not work. Even then, when i was trying to flash it, getting to the GUI interface was difficult, the page would time out, but eventually would connect after a few unsuccessful tries.
Now I cannot get gui access at all. I tried to go into failsafe mode, but while i can ping 192.168.1.1 everything else fails. No telnet connection, no ssh connection (refused) and efforts to flash with TFTP fail as well.
But it is there and something works since I can ping it right?
Any ideas to help this newbie?
Thanks
