Hi,

I bricked the TPLINK MR3420 when configuring the firewall.

At this moment, i can ping and access wifi, but no access for ssh and www.

I tried almos everythig that i read on the wiki's and posts.

Anyone have any idea to help me?

Thanks.

Rafael

Well, I did the same. And, unfortunately, I am in the middle of ruining it totally. :-)

But you still have a few options. They are general solutions, so you should try to find it in the forum.

There is the 30-30-30 method.
There is the tftp method which you can use right after starting up your router.
There are other merthods that involve some hardware modification (soldering a serial connector to the breadboard of the router) and do some magic over serial line. This last thing created some problems for me because I slightly moved one of the smd resistors on the board so watch out!

If you happen to get to the latest point could you take some pictures of the board and post them here?

Feka,

Thanks for your support, i tried the serial connection and the problem is solved.

Thanks again.

The discussion might have continued from here.
