I have a problem in my OpenWRT router when I try to upgrade my router

(TP-Link TL-WDR-3600) to openwrt firmware via web ui. Now my router is bricked and I can't connect

the router via WebUI (192.168.1.1), putty and WinSCP. I checked the ipconfig command in

command prompt. But the Default gateway is missing.

Finally I try to connect via USB to serial cable using putty.

But the putty is shown a blank screen for a long time. ( 30 minutes ).

I am really hopeless, I think my router is seriously crashed.

Could you please suggest any advice?

Do not panic. I do not think that your router is bricked. It is just unreachable for your PC. Did you try to set the IP address of your PC manually to 192.168.1.2? Your PC now has 169.254.17.129. This address cannot communicate to your router.

  • How did you try to connect to your router? WIFI or network cable? Should be by network cable and with an IP address that is in the same subnet as 192.168.1.1. Commented Aug 6, 2015 at 6:10
  • I am using Network cable. Now i disable the wireless lan. Commented Aug 6, 2015 at 6:17
  • What IP address? Commented Aug 6, 2015 at 6:20
