Bricked WRT54G v3?
Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2013 10:16 am
I installed gargoyle_1.5.10-wrt54g-squashfs.bin on my WRT54G v3, and setup went just fine. I was successfully able to switch over from dd-wrt, logged in via the web interface, and got the router switched over into bridge mode. However, things broke as soon as I switched the Bridge IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.7. (I think one thing I did wrong was put it in the same range as the gateway which has an IP range of 192.168.0.2 -> 192.168.0.100. Maybe I should have done 192.168.1.101?)
The WRT54G rebooted after switching IPs, but when it came up there was immediately a fast flashing power light. I couldn't log into the web interface. When I tried to reboot it again by unplugging it since the reset button wouldn't work I noticed that it couldn't be pinged for the first 30 seconds until the orange Linksys logo LED came on. After that I could ping 192.168.0.7, but telnet and ssh wouldn't respond. I tried rebooting again and issued a tftp command (using OS X) the very second the router responded to pings, but the connection timed out each time.
Is there anything else I can do to get the router back up and running?
