failsafe reset

thnx for your reply but I tried it but that doesn't work. When I switch it on the power led gets on and after that all led's go on and off. Powering into failsafe (nice function btw) is gone.

I used USB TTL converter and restored OpenWRT using
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr841nd

Then using LuCI I flashed it to Gargoyle 1.7.0 all went well . Then I Gargoyle 1.7.0 and upgraded to 1.7.1 with the try to preserve on and again it was bricked. So to my opinion there is something wrong with the version 1.7.1 for TP-Link WR841n 8.4 plz be careful.

just after the second serial flash I saw that the image size of 1.7.1 was 200kb ....after I downloaded it again all was well so nothing is wrong with 1.7.1 for TP-Link WR841N v8.4

with the try to preserve on and again

This can be a problem
