WR1043ND: only PWR, USB leds (and WLAN/LAN led with cable)

Post by matt »

I flashed my SamKnows WR1043ND box according to the tutorial here: http://chewkh27.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/ ... tebox.html

My box says v1.10 and so I used:
gargoyle_1.6.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
da43e8b0fd74243f4de80ec4a5f3cbd0

I transferred the .bin file to the uplink box via wget from a local ftp server on the connected computer.

The flash went well, was written and the device rebooted.

Since then, I am aware I need to access the web interface to activate wireless. But I am unable to do so.

LEDS
PWR = constant green light
USB = constant green light
WLAN/LAN = green light when cable is plugged in

No USB devices are connected.

I cannot connect to 192.168.1.1 and I have been unable to put the device into recovery state. QSS button bash does nothing. Wireshark shows no activity from 192.168.1.1.

What has happened? Is there anything else I can try?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I cannot enter recovery mode that way. I have tried using both QSS button and rear reset button hole.

So, I have ordered a TTL cable.

Could the LEDs be mixed up somehow?

USB led seems to be behaving as SYS led should on my device in the state it is.

No, I couldn't.

However, my serial cable has arrived so I will be trying that method soon.
