Hi everybody, sorry for posting this here.

But i flashed my tplink with last version, with all features.

Everything goes ok, until i changing some stuffs on webadmins, i do my alterations, and clicked save and apply, after this, my router reboot, and not work anymore.

When i put the power cord, the POWER LINK goes on, and the sys led start blinking, but after some seconds, the sys led stay ON and not blink anymore, and i cant acess the router, no dhcp server, no access to the router, i tryed the 30, 30, 30 reset, but no success, and i tryed the telnet stuff pressing the qss buton when starting, works, but no ping response on 192.168.1.1

No way to recovery my tp link ?

Thanks for all!!!!

Try disconnect WAN and power down all other networks with 192.168 you might have accept the one connected to router

Hi guys, sorry for buggin, but i buyed the CA42 nokia cable, im waiting to get delivered.

im confuse, i just need to cutt off the cellphone jack, and put the correct pins into the router board?

i have chance to get my router back again, without jtag? using only the serial console i can get my router back?

thank you!

You need cut off the connector from the ca42 and solder the GND,RX and TX wires to the router.
I think 99% you dont need JTAG. There isnt JTAG for this router if i know well...
Good luck!

Hi Pokot, i got my CA42 cable, i just need to solder this 3 pins, GND, RX and TX to get working?

After this, what commands i need to put on hyperterminal to get my router working again ? i want to put the original tp link firmware on that,

can you help me?

thanks a lot!!!

Have you tried failsafe mode? Since openwrt was working before you did that setting change, there's a change it might work.
