Semi-bricked WRT54GL {SOLVED}
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2011 12:14 pm
I flashed the WRT54GL with gargoyle_1.4.3-wrt54g-squashfs.bin, having reset the DDWRT mini to its default settings.
All was fine.
Like a muppet I messed with the subnet mask on the LAN and lost contact via web interface and ping.
I followed the failsafe instructions and got as far as getting a telnet connection (I think).
The problem is "firstboot" is not found as a command.
What am I missing?
Edit. Found an XP machine and telnet works.
Re-booted router and works as it did before I messed with it!

Code: Select all
[james@localhost /]$ telnet 192.168.1.1
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

Encryption could not be enabled.

Use 'passwd' to set your login password
this will disable telnet and enable SSH
