WNDR3700v5 cannot connect access ip in webgui or ping
OK. Bit of a long story here, but I'll try and add all the info I've done. Bought a WNDR3700v5 from a car boot sale and it powers up fine. Connect via ethernet to it and can't access routerlogin.n...
Ideas? It might be why it was sold.
Without knowing what was done to it and you having already done all the reset procedures, kind of limits you.
sounds like you've tried most all the fix it procedures.
You could always try tftp or nmrpflash to reinstall the firmware to it.
You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
