TFTP Recovery not working "connect request failed"
So, tried updating my firmware for my router, and it ended up glitching out halfway through. Found threads on using TFTP to reflash an update to the router, and have everything set up right, but every...

Were those directions as precise as your description of where to find
them?

I still can't see your "ping" command, or its output.

I would not expect loading new (or same) firmware to perform a
settings reset. Did _you_ expect that? (Why?)
"boondoggle"? Does your router still not work, or is this some new

- You were the one who linked to them, so I agree I was wrong to follow any advice from you. Luckily, I'm a networking professional who can use tools like Wireshark, so I was going to solve it regardless of bad procedures and harassment by what appears to be a pedantic shill. Or maybe he just has no life. Regardless, stay away from all cheap proprietary consumer-grade gear is the advice I must re-iterate, or deal with "gurus"
