Topic: TL-MR3020 problem with factory reset

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi, TL-MR3020 worked very well, but after my last change something went wrong... Last change which I made was set DHCP client to LAN port, but LAN and Wifi was in bridge. After "save and apply" I cant access to router and I dont know what IP address router has (in dhcp server I dont see added IP to router...). I try reset to failmode, see  http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- … lsave.mode , but now routers LED lights are off (although it is the router lan cabel), only WPS/Reset button light.
How can I repair it? It is possible that the device is dead forever?
Thanks

sounds like you're not in failsafe mode.
During failsafe mode, the WPS Led is keeping flashing.
then its IP turn to 192.168.1.1

Yes, default IP should be a 192.168.1.1, I set manual IP on my computer to subnet 192.168.1.0, but router dont answer on 192.168.1.1
I dont know how I should access to router, or how know what IP address has... what is intersting, that every LEDS are off, but only WPS is on

192.168.168.1.0 is NOT a valid IP !!
of coz you can't access your router.

Man, I write a SUBNET ... 192.168.1.0 ... I add to my network car IP from subnet 192.168.1.0 ... It means , that my computer has IP 192.168.1.2....

It is not a valid subnet either.

SOLVED, I wrong click on reset button...  I think that advice on wiki is bad, because,  only one click on reset button is enough, when router is booting and then router go to fail-mode (LED is still flashing).

The discussion might have continued from here.
