In the process of updating my R7000, it got bricked. I went through all the guides, got the TTY cable, opened the router, configured Putty, and booted the router... and this is the output I got in the Putty console:
I verified the Putty settings: 8,1, off - no dice. I also verified the correct cables were on the correct posts. Windows 10 had no issue installing the TTY cable, the correct drivers were picked up without a problem.
Any idea how to get past this, or is this one good and truly bricked beyond cybermancy?
Image of output didn't show up in post, can be seen at: http://www.psi-13.com/pics/TTY-Output.PNG
Check your baud rate, it should be 115200 .
Checked that, even tried 9600 as well to be safe. Same output on both.
for Linksys but maybe worth a try: https://lancelhoff.com/how-to-fix-a-bricked-linksys-router/
Figured it out. I had the Baud set to 11,520, not 115,200 - once I spotted the comma in another post, I saw my error, and fixed it.
I'm good now, thank you!
