Hi, I'm new to the forum, so thank you guys for all you do.

I recently successfully flashed flashed my TL-wa850re with a custom gargoyle firmware, that I found here:

http://blog.friedzombie.com/tl-wa850/

Everything was fine, but I didn't had my wireless enabled, so when I was on panel trying to enable wireless by mistake I enabled DHCP (wired) and now I can't have access to the router anymore. Tried Telnet and wireshark, and failsafe recovery (altought I don't know if I followed the fail safe right)

this is what I get from wireshark:

563 265.518551000 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 DHCP 402 DHCP Discover - Transaction ID 0x7558273a

I have the my ethernet setup to 192.168.1.2

the ethernet LED keeps blinking all the time, which I understand can mean it is reboot or something (?)

Is there any chance I can get control of this router again ?

Will try to provide more info if needed. thanks.

I fixed the issue myself, turns out I was doing the Failsafe recover mode wrong, and I could do ti right and regain access to the router.

Here is the trick if somebody ever has the same issue, press reset button as soon as the RE led starts to blink, and it will blink faster, now go to cmd and type telnet 192.168.1.1, provided you have your ethernet setup to 192.168.1.2 it will work.
