TP Link WDR3600 v1

Post by cooldude »

Hi there,
I wanted to install Gargoyle on my WDR3600, but now I am struggling to continue with the Installation.

I download the firmware upgrade file and used the firmware upgrade feature on the standard tp link web UI to do the upgrade. It said on the Web UI that the upgrade was succesful and the router rebooted. Now I cannot access the router. Power light is on. Sys light blinks slowly and then stays on. When I plug in the network cable, the light comes on on the router.

I tried going into failsafe mode. The sys light flashes faster, but I still cannot telnet into the router at IP 192.168.1.1 using putty. Putty returns error.

Any help will be appreciated.

I get request timeout. But the response changes from destination host not found to timeout. I plugged the cable in the Lan1 port and then I tried the WAN port. Tried doing it with safemode and without. no luck
