WRT54G

Yeah, I've tried all that. But it seems there's no firmware and therefore no router config.

I want to try the firmware auto upgrade .exe but can't find it anywhere

Fixed it managed to sucessfully tftp some firmware to it

Thanks for the help

Nice going, which version of firmware eventually worked then?

[popper]

so in effect , you were uploading the wrong firmware to the box it seems?.

you didnt say if it auto reset after upload,as it should, what revision board do you have.

for future readers:
you cant just go uploading any firmware you might find, you really need to pay attention to the revision of the board and so on as the companys swap & change stuff all the time between revisions or risk bricking the box forever, glad you managed to clear it.

unbricking many brands of boxs is covered over on
http://forum.openwrt.org/ from time to time, just search on your brand/version and brick to get some threads that might help even if your not using any of the 3rd party firmwares.

The dd-wrt firmware seemed to work in the end.

I was always using the firmware for V2.2 as it says on the bottom of the router. It wasn't resetting the router after I uploaded the firmware - but it seemed to take to this one after a hard reset.

Glad you got it sorted.

If anyone is unsure of what version of WRT54G or WRT54GS they have all they have to do is compare your S/N prefix e.g CDFB and look for it here and it should tell you what model you have.
