So just got this off of amazon to give openWRT a try. Previously I have been using a linksys on stock firmware for the past several years.

Anyhow I flashed "openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wdr4300-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" which I believe is Attitude Adjustment 12.09 RC1 using the factory flash page.

Router then rebooted & then nodda..

Its not longer serving IP's via DHCP so I am not sure if its completely toast or if DHCP is just disabled after the flash.

So can someone guide me in the right direction to fix my Fubar?

You flash factory not sysupgrade.
Doesn't it make sense to you why it is called factory and you mention using the factory page?
You have to use serial to recover at this point in time.

So serial huh... I guess its time for another router then. And I took factory to mean the factory image..

So I have another being delivered today. After flashing the image labeled factory is it done or am I still missing something?

That's it

You try to connect with telnet on the factory ip setting ?

Nope. I replaced the router and used the correct file. Everything is fine now.
