Linksys EA9500 flashed but can't access

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all

I've flashed my Linksys EA9500 v1 last night following the guide on the TOH page
after the first flash it booted back in to the linksys firmware so I rebooted it several times and each time it booted into the linksys firmware, so I assumed the flash did not take and tried again.

It looks like it took as there are no wifi lights and the Linksys logo is on solid, but I cant connect to it via any of the lan ports and there's no wifi showing.

I've tried both with a DHCP connection and a static set as 192.168.1.10 but no response either to pink or putty?

Did the flash take and I'm missing something?
or is it now time to open it and try a serial connection?

Cheers

If running a Windows system,
Run the ipconfig /all command to see some general information.
e.g. Default Gateway

In OpenWrt, the WiFi is not enabled by default after fresh installation/update.
Users need to enable it manually after firmware installation/update.

Additional note: The Linksys EA9500 v1 makes use of Broadcom BCM4709C0 SoC. Broadcom has not released any FOSS wireless drivers, so limited support by OpenWrt.

Hi @Warlock Warlock
if I /All and have my ethernet set to dhcp I get the standard 169.254.19.117 as my IP and no gateway IP
if I set my ethernet to just have an IP and mask I still dont get a gateway.
theres both lights on the lan port 1 and the linksys logo is solid

In the past, when I encountered similar message with a Netgear router, it was due to firmware installation failure. :frowning:

I would guess it's time for router recovery process.
I am not familiar with Linksys routers, so unable to assist.
