[SOLVED] Linksys WRT54GL Router not responding

acts12 · 09-28-2008, 06:41 AM

I have a WRT54GL Linksys router that is not responding after being reset. The lights still seem to work, but the default IP 192.168.1.1 does not bring up the Freifunk webpage.

Is there any way of resurrecting it? I run Mandriva 2008 software.

This ia a community-based project and your help will be greatly appreciated.

If you did a reset - as opposed to a restart - you'll need to configure the router again with username / password / etc.

What is the make/model of the modem that the router is connected to?

1.) The router was reset as it was not responding.
2.) How do I reset the username, etc.. if I can't login?
3.) I am busy setting up a long range ADSL network and the router is currently not linked to any modem.

I am not an expert in this area, but I am going through a very steep learning curve at present! Therefore, please excuse me if some replies seem 'dom'!

Thanks guys for your help. I've solved the problem by using tftp to reload ww-wrt, and then the Freifunk software. Works like a dream (and saved me +R650?)!
