ZTE mf289f TFTP fails

Hi guys,

i am trying to install openwrt to a tze mf289f router and the reason is that no device was able to coonect to it either using ethernet or wifi. the connection remained unidentified such us no dhcp was enabled and if i use static ip on the device there was no communication with the router. the ethernet port also has only one led (yellow) and not both of them. i tried to change to 100 mpbs full duplex of half duplex and then only the green led flashed but not the yellow.

after that i tried tftp in order to load the new image bur again the tftp load times out.
all the setting from clinet side (tftp,ip,firewall etc are ok cause i can load imaged to other device.)
any ideas on how to check if device is fried or this is a driver issue on the router.

Seems to me you've already concluded it's dead.

my humble opinion is that is fried but i am not an expert, thats why i created this tread

my humble opinion agrees with your humble opinion.
