WNR2000 v2 - all solid lights on

Question

hello there.Im been using the netgear wnr2000v2 for a while with dd-wrt fw.its been working fine since I stop using it as a repeater and tried to use it as a wifi-repeteater. there are a lot of tutorials over internet and YT but none of them worked.&nbsp;I mean, in a unique day I reseted and restarted this old guy a lot of times. So, looks like he gets tired somehow and suddenly stoped works after a reset and the netgear wont come back. Its only shows all the lights solid from the powerup and nothing changes this pattern. I cant reset, hard reset and cant also unbrick it by tftp bc it cant boot up and give me an IP address at al.&nbsp;So, what can I do?? There is anyway to save this guy or sent it to museum lol.&nbsp;Thanks in advance everyone who reply this post.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

If you have 3rd party firmware on it, you should ask on that firmwares forum. They'd be the expert in how to recover the device since it has their firmware on it.&nbsp;

If its got 3rd party firmware, our help could make it worse as some 3rd party firmwares require certain steps/procedures for recovery

So, are you saying that this symptom (all lights of the router solid) its specific of a firmware??This wouldnt happen in a regular netgear fw?&nbsp;

&gt; This wouldnt happen in a regular netgear fw?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Who knows?&nbsp; Your router has a problem which could be in the firmwareor the hardware.&nbsp; Most of the people here know little about DD-WRT, andnothing about your hardware.&nbsp;&gt; [...] I cant reset, hard reset [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What's the difference?&nbsp; What, exactly, do those terms mean to you?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "can[']t" is not a useful problem description.&nbsp; It does not say whatyou did.&nbsp; It does not say what happened when you did it.&nbsp; As usual,showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (errormessages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vaguedescriptions or interpretations.&nbsp;&gt; [...] and cant also unbrick it by tftp bc it cant boot up and give me&gt; an IP address at al.&nbsp;&nbsp; Wrong.&nbsp; Have you looked at the TFTP recovery procedure?&nbsp; Itspecifically requires the user to assign static IP parameters to thecomputer because DHCP is unavailable.&nbsp; See, for example:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1622096#M102004
