Topic: How to flash Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 with openwrt

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Mar 2018.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

I try to flash my WZR-HP-G300NH2 following this link:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/buffalo/wzr-hp-g300nh2

I used this image:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … s-tftp.bin

And this procedure to flash:
Migrate from DD-WRT to OpenWrt
Enable SSH on the router
Login to the router via SSH
Change directory to /tmp and download OpenWrt firmware image file:
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … s-tftp.bin
Overwrite current firmware with the downloaded one:
mtd -r write openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wzr-hp-g300nh2-squashfs-tftp.bin linux
After flashing, the router should go down for a reboot and return running OpenWrt.

And when flash is finished the router restart and I get flashing diag light and I can't access the router.

The red diag light blinks like this: 2 blinks, stop, 2 bliks, stop, ....

Can somebody help me out?

thx in advance

Do please note that the "tftp" version of the image file should only be used when flashing the router using TFTP, as explained on this page:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/buffalo/wzr-hp-g300h

In particular:

To reflash a DD-WRT-flashed router over to OpenWRT, you would have needed to use the sysupgrade image.

However, if you had DD-WRT try to overwrite itself with the "tftp" image instead of the "sysupgrade" image, you may need to reflash the router again now using TFTP method, with the tftp image.
