WNHDE111 emergency recovery needed
Hello, I have a AP/Bridge WNHDE111 that is blinking once per second (corrupted firmware sign). It does not response on any buttons or network connections. Prior to becoming a paperweight, it freque...
Bumping an old topic again...
I just had the same thing happen to me today. I bought a used WNHDE111 from a guy on eBay and as soon as I got it on a valid LAN address, it wanted to do an update. I let it. Big Mistake! It looked like I'd bricked it, but it turned out the wired connections still worked. So I gave it the nerve pinch, found the v1.2.3 firmware on NetGear's site, and reloaded that.
The v1.2.7 firmware appeared to have killed the radio, near as I can tell. Or at least it wouldn't see my wireless-A network anymore. One-in-the-same result, for my purposes, since I want to use it for a media center bridge.
I know it's unlikely, this late in the game for this product, but it'd be nice if NetGear would fix this problem. Or at the very least put up a warning on the support pages. If I hadn't been an experienced systems and network admin, and have worked with NetGear product a lot already, I probably would've dumped the thing in the trash--figuring I'd bricked it or not having any clue as to how to get the older firmware back into the thing.
Regards,
Jim

However, this happened instantly after updating the firmware (which I promise I did not bodge). I would love to be able to do the steps above, but I can't get an IP! My mac simply self assigns an IP. I just cannot get the config to change and settings!
