how do you not brick a router Some how mine got Bricked Ie no 8080 or 192.168.1.1 just some kind of loop back ip addresses like 244. or 168. and I ened up frying a 12volt wall wart and fried a chip on my wrt54gl linksys router the only thing that happens now is a blinking power light. May be I should have not changed my SSID on the Router or was it the fact that once I had the firmware installed, I clicked on a dropdown box for it to be a Hsmm-mesh AP?? any Thoughts? I have bought two more Linksys from NewEgg with a no fault warenty |

You do not brick a router by not unplugging it during an upgrade or loading custom firmware where you inadvertently change some settings and lock yourself (or anyone else) out.
As for an address, you find the mesh node on http://172.27.0.1:8080 or http://localnode:8080. For Mesh AP's the address is http://172.27.0.2:8080. In order for you to get a DHCP lease though, you need to plug a Mesh AP into a standard mesh node. |

Jim,
I bricked my WRT54G3G-AT during the upgrade from V0.43 to V1.0.
The power LED is flashing for ever after a power up.
I upgraded 5 WRT54Gs before without problem.
All my upgrades were done the same way thru the admin page and an internet connection.

F6CNB, Have you tried TFTPing the stock Linksys firmware back to the router, editing the first 4 bytes of the BBHN firmware to match that of Linksys' first 4 bytes of their firmware and uploading it again? If all fails and you give up, send me an e-mail and I will see about helping you out off-forum. |

Yes, I have recovered the wrt54g3g. I tftp the modified 0.43 version (header bytes ) then I upgrade it with a local 1.0 file.
It is now working fine as a fifth node on my local mesh in Frelsburg Texas.

AF7J,
The 169 address you got was an 'autoconfigure' one. That happens because the router does not start serving IP addresses because it is not configured correctly, or is still booting. If you reboot the router, windows loses connection, and restarts the network card.
If the router is blinking the power light, it has some smarts still. If you fried one of the chips no guaratees, but you can try the process at:http://blog.irrashai.com/blog/2008/09/how-to-debrick-a-wrt54g-router/
Because of the connection issue, it is important that you put a hub between your router and your machine. If you have a hub, windows will keep the connection open, and you can ping 192.168.1.1 to see if the router is responding.
Thanks
