I can confirm that as well … EKO is right - it is all about the timing.
So:
(1) unplug all ethernet-cables (only power cable should be pluged-in)
(2) unplug power cable
(3) plug in power cable and
(4) press reset after 2-2,5 seconds
(5) hold it pressed 5 seconds
(6) plug in ethernet cable
(7) address is given by DHCP
( point browser to 192.168.1.1
(9) update any firmware
if (7) does not give DHCP-Address then restart process …
it might be helpful to ping 192.168.1.1 in order to see, if the router is in maintainance-mode.

Hi to all...
i'm writing here because i have done a mistake... I don't have read the wiki for dd-wrt firmware installation forthis router and now my new wrt610n v2 is bricked...
I was been a stupid!
using the linksys web interface...
Now the router, after powered on, has power-led still blinking. I have try the 30/30/30 procedure and to press reset in 2 - 2.5s after plugging power on without success...
I have seen that the router is pingable for 3-4 seconds after relaeased the reset, so i think that isn't a very hard brick, but no one web interface is reachable.
Is it possibile to debrick using the serial console?
I have opened the router and finded the serial port. I have an rs232 chip to make a serial adapter connector, but.. What are the commands to recover the router via serial console? is it possible to make it going in recovery mode? AND, VERY IMPORTANT, What is the first correct firmware to upload and from where ( linksys web interface, recovery interface, never seen from me )?
P.S. ( i already have an Asus wl 500 gpv2 with dd-wrt, and was thinking to update the firmware in the same way for this wrt610n... i'm not a newbie... but, it's true, i have done a mistake in "newbie style" )

If you could tell me the command to send to the router wheh i will in serial console shuld be very appreciated.
It is really easy to flash using recovery GUI YOu can do it... it is all in timing.
- Disconnect all cables.
- plug power
- count 2 s (or 2.5 )
- press reset - keep it pressed for 6s, release.
- plug lan cable
- open 192.168.1.1

I have try this exact sequence but the web interface isn't reachable, after waiting about 2+6 seconds( or more ). The router isn't pingable after connecting the cable, even if the led of lan is blinking when connected in all 4 LAN ports.
Any suggests?
