R8500 bricked
Hi All. This is my first report. I purchased on purpose the above router on Ebay. I can not register it Serial 4DG65B7G019C5 it is used like mint. The reason i found it is the best range router and my house needs it. I opened it and I looked the mother board it is a beatiful designe motherboard. Now i need some help from the people who are good on this matter. I have a cable ttl to usb PL2303 but I go no where I do not see any report. I use GENIE and i found an IP address 54.218.118.186. The dos command verifies the the IP by the ping IP that talks to the router. Genie can not fix anything. I tryed tftp -i 54.218.118.186 put r8500.chk the dos after 1 minute times out no connection. I connected on the J4 serial port blk as ground pin 2 and pins 3 and 4 it gets white and green send receive. Do we have any cd that will go and correct the router's firmware. Any help will be appreciated. I do not have any warranty therefore we can do all the experaments possible. Best regards. Peter11742Solved33KViews0likes120Comments
