USR 808054 dead after firmware upgrade !

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I own a USR 808054 Wireless Router since some months and it gives me full
satisfaction.

In order to stay up to date with some applications and to use fully the
properties of this device I upgraded the firmware to v1.21h.
I downloaded the firmware .bin file from this site
http://www.usr-emea.com/support/s- [...] &prod=8054
and I followed the flash procedure from A to Z as noticed on the .txt file
included in the .zip file.

Once flashed, the router rebooted but now the router seems to be dead.
It doesn't stop rebooting and I cannot connect to it by using the
192.168.0.1 IP address.

Can you please tell me what to do to repair it ?
Is it something I can do myself ?
Is it possible to re-enter into the configuration pages ?
Must I send it back to the support center ?

Pfffffffffffffffff :-(

Thanks

Andre

Default address to access the router is 192.168.123.254.

Try a long reset (10 sec.).

If after that it always reboot, try to see if you have a wireless phone or
wireless video or any wireless system.

Stop them. If it works, change channel.

Good luck,



Urbano

US Robotics 8054 uses 192.168.123.254 as a default gateway. You say, you can
not connect to it using 192.168.0.1.When you flash firmware you remove old
and install new. Usually it goes without a glitch, but if during that time
you loose power or cable connection, you might not be able to install new
firmware while old one is removed. You should not use wireless computer to
upgrade firmware, because the above will happen. Firmware upgrade puts
router to the factory state. It has to be reprogrammed.
