[solved] Can't connect even when in failsafe mode

Installing and Using OpenWrt

  • You cannot connect to the Serial Console via an Ethernet port. You usually need a 3.0/5.0 volt Serial TTL down converter and to use a serial adapter and program on your computer. This can only be done when accessing the serial pins inside the router's case (if they soldered riser pins)
  • See: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.failsafe for instructions and information on failsafe
  • You will have to assign a static IP to your device to access the router (there is no DHCP)
  • This IP can be any IP in the 192.168.1.xxx/24 subnet, EXCEPT 1 and 255
  • You must use TELNET to connect to the router at 192.168.1.1 (NOT SSH)
