Dear All,
Just bricked(?) my THIRD router trying to upgrade firmware to dd-wrt. Going crazy trying to think what I'm doing wrong. Did 30/30/30 reset, set static IP, connected by cable to LAN port (should it be WAN port?). Uploads firmware via router GUI OK, but won't restart, every time. Waited 10 mins. Nothing. I'm sure I've got all the right files but every time won't restart. Using Win XP and IE 8. Doing something wrong, but what.
Any suggestions what is problem. Don't mind if you call me a dope if you've got right answer and it's obvious. I recently bought a used WR1043 already flashed with dd-wrt, so must be possible. On first failure tried soldering serial connection on router circuit board. Eyes too bad, hopeless at soldering, made bad job of it so gave up.
Any help, any ideas, very, very welcome.
