It looks fine on Google Chrome on Android mobile though.

I had just installed 1.9.2 on WRT1900ACS.

Looks fine on my end, have you tried clearing your browser's cache ?

mm... the pie charts do show up correctly in incognito mode today but not under normal mode in Chrome without clearing cache.

Your browser has cached the SVG object.
I updated it in 1.9.2 so that it could be dynamically resized.
I think the BW_Distribution graphs already had this behaviour, but qos_distribuion didn't.

Clearing cache should get it sorted.

After working on a friend's router, I thought I'd run some maintenance on mine.

I started off by upgrading the firmware to 1.9.2 from 1.8.1 on my WDR4300. I made couple of attempts to create backups (on different machines) but they all failed; either freezing and or outputting a 0 byte file. Despite this, I went ahead and flashed "gargoyle_1.9.2-ar71xx-generic-tl-wdr4300-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade " file. There was a "Updating" popup on the screen that lasted for over an hour, but devices connected to it continued to work for the most part, yet connecting to 192.168.1.1 only yielded a "not found" error.

Seeing no other option, I restarted the router, after which my wifi networks were gone. The LEDs started to all flash in unison, every 5 seconds or so. When the router is in this state, nothing seems to work. When this router is connected to a computer via ethernet, the computer does not detect this router (it just says it's disconnected). I have tried multiple cables.

Now I don't know what I can do to salvage my WDR4300. FailSafe doesn't seem to be triggered when pressing the reset/WDS buttons on boot, so that is out. And I can't figure out getting access via SSH (if it's possible at all in this situation).

If anybody has any ideas, thoughts, insights, anything at all, I'd appreciate it. I'm currently using my friend's router that I was working on but this has to go back in a week.

Am I SOL and have to get a new router? Is there any possible fix that doesn't involve soldering?

If that doesn't work, try and Google "WDR-4300 unbrick"

Thanks for the reply. I've spent several hours looking into it, and this isn't my first rodeo with flashing routers and bricking/unbricking them.

This time, however, I am unable to enter failsafe mode, which means I can't use the methods described in your link. In fact, I am unable to get any sort of communications to the router with a computer (tried multiple computers, multiple cables, etc.). My guess is that the bootloader is corrupt.

So, I can't SSH, can't failsafe. Is there anything I can do short of soldering stuff or is this permanently bricked?

There is the TFTP recovery method you can still try.

It saved me when i bricked my TL-WR842ND and couldn't enter failsafe mode as well.

Instructions:

The link I pasted was actually the guide to TFTP recovery
