WRT54g v3.1

Post by Zman »

I flashed on 1.3.5 and all was fine but i couldnt connect to the wireless. I changed to 1.3.4 to test and i cannot connect to wireless either but now i cannot get into the router to factory reset it. All the lan ports is limited or no connectivity. I only set it up as a access point and the wan port to bridge with lan.

Any ideas how to recover the device? :oops:

Seems like the WRT54 is still connecting to another wireless access point and is passing on that APs Ip.

So i cannot see that gargoyle web gui ip nor do i know the range (i set it as 192.168.3.1 but that doesnt work). I have tried using a static ip and have tried 30/30/30 to no aval :|

1. Powered he router and as the DMZ led came on I pressed the reset button till the power & dmz leds were blinking.
2. I setup a computer with a static ip of 192.168.1.10 subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway ip 192.168.1.1
3. logged into the router via telnet
I am able to do this but dont know the commands to put in

I have successfully reflashed to the linksys firmware.

I pressed the reset button when starting up the linksys so the power+dmz flashes.

Then i set static ip of 192.168.1.x and gateway of 192.168.1.1

I telnet into 192.168.1.1 i type "mtd erase linux" the reboot.

I downloaded the firmware from linksys website, downloaded tftp2.exe (put server as 192.168.1.1 and pointed to firmware) then i unplugged the power then plugged back in. When i plug the power back in i click upgrade on tftp2.exe.

The successfully flashed back :D

Hi Eric, sorry for all the posts.

I installed 1.3.5 on a WRT54G V3.1. I put it in gateway mode and have set lan ip to 192.168.5.1. I connect to a AP here in the office then set the gargoyle AP (Client + AP mode). I use WPA PSK but for the life of me i cannot connect. I tried with no security / WPA/WPA2 nothing seems to work.

The gargoyle AP shows up fine, i try to join it asks for a password but it just doesnt connect.

See that thread

Possibly related to the Broadcom Client + AP issues

Not sure if this has been fixed yet in the new Backfire releases

You may need to re-configure or re-arrange

Maybe just use router as wireless bridge for now?

You also have this post going:

-----------------------

1) Try and restore defaults or re-flash fresh 1.3.5 and do some
VERY BASIC config, not AP+Client, just AP or Client and see if
you can get it working like that.

2) Once you get #1 working, then switch to Client + AP mode
If Client + AP mode fails - it may still need work.
