can't ping TL-WR941ND

[pesky_89]

hello,
few days ago i tried to flash a gargoyle or openwrt firmware, but something went wrong and my router is bricked.
i connected through serial and tried to flash via tftp, but by pc can't reach the router
i run printenv on router to check the ip
router ip: 192.168.1.10
server ip (my pc): 192.168.1.169
active eth: eth0

i set 192.168.1.169 on my pc with /24 mask and inserted the eth cable from my pc in router ports, but i cant ping 192.168.1.10 (tried wan lan1 lan2 lan3 lan4)
this means i cannot download the firmware via tftp

when i insert the cable into the router, the corresponding port led is blinking, meaning it has activity
pc and router are connected directly (no firewall / windows firewall is also disabled)

can anyone help with this issue?

have you tried failsafe reset?

[pesky_89]

i can't failsafe
sys led is on for two seconds after power up and then it shuts down and only pwr led stays on (tried pressing qss / reset button, sys led still not blinking)

its can be tricky, keep trying

all else fails use a serial cable

hi
i connected through serial (failsafe not working) and tried to flash via tftp, but by pc can't reach the router
i run printenv on router to check the ip
router ip: 192.168.1.10
server ip (my pc): 192.168.1.169
active eth: eth0
i don't have layer3 connectivity between router and pc

Is port 69 open on the computer that is acting as a server

yes, i can tftp from my pc to my pc (tftp on himself)
port is layer4 in osi model
ping, which is layer3, is not working

[ispyisail]

if you are connected through serial and use putty



There is not IP address used with a serial cable

[pesky_89]

Hi
Serial connection is ok.
But for tftp i need IP connectivity between router and pc
But i cant ping router and when router tries to acess tftp server, it fails
Modem is 192.168.1.10

This is The configuration from printenv
