Hi

I just bought a TP Link MR3420 and flashed it with openwrt firmware. First bootup was ok, and I was able to access to UI on 192.168.1.1.
Afterwards I changed the ip to another subnet 192.168.0.1. After also changing the subnet on my pc everything worked fine as well on the other subnet.
Now I wanted to add a new network interface (UMTS USB Modem K5005 flashed to E398). So I added the network adapter and after that reboot I'm not able to
access the router anymore. Tried a reset factory defaults (also changed subnet on my pc of course), no access to 192.168.1.1 also no ping.
So I tried failsafe: Plugin - Press QSS Button, still no access. Last I tried a continuous ping to 192.168.1.1 while the router starts up. There I got some seconds after I
started the router 2-3 retourned ping requests but after that no pings again...

Looked like this:

I also tried using putty with serial setting and the WAN Port of the router connected directly to the pc (but what serial port should I type in ??)

So, I'm out of options. Is there any other way ?

thanks for any help
