Hi everyone
I have installed the DD-WRT firmware by the update procedure of the original Netgear firmware.
Then I have tried to upgrade to the DD-WRT by using the option "erase all settings". The router bricked.
Later I have done an "hard reset" of the router
and now when i connect the router to the pc the DHCP is down. With a static ip the router reply to the ping
but, I can't access to the router's page at 192.168.1.1
What can I do to restore the firmware?
I have tried with the tftp procedure but both modem's led don't blink when I restart the router.

WGR614L v8 router dead after upgrade DD-WRT
Have you tried the method that employs the use of a USB-TTL cable?

I have not but I'd like to solve without open the router.
Can you explain me better the tftp procedure.
I don't understand how reset the router to active the tftp protocol and
how use the tftp command in ubuntu, what package I must select
(tftpd-hpa , tftp , tftpd , tftp-hpa)
Furthermore the command in the tftp guide
"tftp -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c put firmware.chk" seems off in fact it gives me
"usage: tftp host-name [port]
tftp>"
What it means?
I have upgraded the dd-wrt.chk firmware for the first installation with the
dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin . I think that it was an error to install the bin
version of the file.
command is ok for Fedora, but not for ubuntu :)
tftp> - it's tftp prompt, don't copy it :)
Try:
tftp 192.168.1.1
tftp> binary
tftp> put a.chk
Then it should start :)
