Topic: [Fixed]TP-LINK 1043ND with AA(12.09) suddenly doe's not working

The content of this topic has been archived on 29 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

it began yesterday.
out of the blue i had no internet connection.
i know it's the router, because i could(and still am) connect via my modem Directly(as i connected now).
after i turn the router off and pluged it in again, i still didn't have an internet connection and also my WLAN bulb was shut off.
after i pluged it off and on again, suddenly i had an internet connection and also the WLAN was working.
everything was working good again.

today it happened again, but after couple of minutes the internet connection returned.
i decided to do a sys upgrade, thinking maybe it will solve this thing.
so i cd /tmp and wget the latest snapshot, and using mtd i did a sysupgrade.
everything was working good(so i think).
after the upgrade was done, the router automatically reboot itself.

now i don't have internet connection.
the WLAN is not working(the bulb is shut off), and i can't get into luci.
i get an error when i try to get into 192.168.1.1

i can only get into the router using SSH, but i don't know what to do further.

can anyone help me?

p.s.
all the other bulbs on the router are working good.
the sys, wan, lan, usb, and pwr are working.

See my message here https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=44670
It was the same issue wlan not working with latest trunk snapshot but the router was WR841ND. Now you don't have Luci - install it from repositories if you want or just reflash via SSH.
Just revert back to AA 12.09
I've created a ticket https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/13696

thanks mate :-).
i have an update.
i managed to connect my self to the internet using this guide:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/internet.connection

after i had a connection, i installed luci-SSL and could get into it on the browser.
by the way, it's the new luci and it looks very good :-).

now i tried to restore my configuration file, but after i did that, the router rebooted and i have a problem to get into luci again.
now i get this error when i try to get into luci(192.168.1.1):

/usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:284: No valid theme found
stack traceback:
    [C]: in function 'assert'
    /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:284: in function 'dispatch'
    /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:195: in function </usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:194>


P.S.
everything else is working good.
i have a wireless connection, so i think that the configuration file was restored OK(i have a wpa2-psk password in the wireless, and it worked good out of the box after restoring the configuration file), but maybe it has a problem to get into luci, because i restored configuration file that was made by older version of luci, into a latest version of luci(?)

please help :-)

i tried to remove luci-ssl using this command:
opkg remove  --force-removal-of-dependent-packages luci-ssl

it removed it(so i think), but when i try to connect to my router(192.168.1.1), i still get the same error in the post above.
it's strange because luci was removed from the router, so how do i get the exact error as if luci is installed?
maybe i'm doing somthing wrong?

i tried to remove luci, because i thought that if i remove luci and then install it again, i could get into it without the error...

update:
after see this post
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 302#p93302

and do:
opkg install luci-theme-openwrt

i can get into luci.
no error.
everything is OK.

but!
it's the old UI of luci.
how do i get the latest greatest UI of luci?

thanks :-)

well, i'm sarisfied now.
i also update luci theme.
look here:
http://nut-bolt.nl/2012/openwrt-bootstr … -for-luci/

if someone has a problem to install the theme and get this error:
Not downgrading package luci-theme-bootstrap on root from svn-r9841-1 to 1-1.

just add: 
--force-downgrade
to the command in the site above.
but for starters, follow the original command :-)


good luck!

The discussion might have continued from here.
