sorry still lost now got putty on computer do i put my router log in the top part and which do i tick of the 4
- No clue what you mean, perhaps you can show a screenshot?
- Did you successfully login to the router using PuTTY?
Maybe this will help: https://www.ssh.com/ssh/putty/windows/
Also, to be sure you have the link for PuTTY: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

thx for the good pointers lleachii
finally done it, lots of diddling around finally had to force image file, so cant be specific in my actions , so not much help to others,
next question plz if i go back to open wrt will it be a completely new install or will it revert back to the original image i had for open wrt
The filesystem where OpenWrt settings are saved is overwritten when you flash factory firmware, so those are gone. If you flash back, it will start with default settings.

ah ha thats great news thank you
If your problem is solved, feel free to mark the relevant post as the solution; and edit the title to add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning (click the pencil behind the topic).
This device has a backup partition with another complete copy of the firmware, so if you want to remove all traces of OpenWrt you need to boot into the factory firmware and use it to flash the factory firmware again. That will put another copy of factory in the other partition.
