from the top cmd, your cpu is 91% idle so it looks like the gui is incorrectly reporting the load avg.

I was seeing the same thing with svn 13309 and updated to the one svn ver in my sig and I don't have the problem with the incorrectly reported load avg.

I had the same thing happen on me on build 13562. CPU in gui was high but not when I looked at TOP.

Try Build 13575. I think it contains the important fix for bug [Enabled UPNP may falsely create full Load=1.0 in the Web GUI]. It was fixed sometime before Build 13575.

I had my wrt320n working perfectly fine with Eko 13493 build but stupidly decided to try the overclock listed in the forums. Bad idea.. now it's blinking blue and will not respond to pings.

I tried holding the WPS button down to try to reset the router but it just keeps on blinking blue.

Also, tried to use the GPIO6 grounding trick, but either I'm doing it wrong or it just doesn't work for some reason. I am using a needle to ground GPIO6 to the radio shield and then powering up the router for 8-10s. But the power light keeps on blinking blue.

I've already read the 47 page thread and several other threads on debricking the 320n. Could someone please give me additional things to try?

The last thing would be to try using the serial cable.

Does anyone know if overclocking could have permanently bricked the router? Or will I be able to debrick using serial cable?

I don't think the WPS button was enable as the reset in 13493. You may want to try the 30-30-30 reset using the reset button.

You're not alone in that boat.
The same result befell my wrt320n 2 months ago after playing with overclocking. As of today, it's still a brick. I bought a serial adapter but it didn't do any good; it's the same as trying to open a connection to a frying pan.
I've been in touch with another person facing the same problem (he also tried serial). The only thing that could possibly bring it back to life is a complete flash erase using JTAG.

*** Instructions on How to flash-install DD-WRT onto your Linksys 320n router for the FIRST TIME ***

- Reboot the router, so that it is fresh, and make sure certain things work on the Linksys firmware:

- LAN computers can connect to the router.
- Wireless computers can connect to the router.
- Internet access works.
- Network browsing to see other computer names works.
- File sharing works.
- You know how to ping your router's and computer's IP address.
- Anything else you deem important for your router to be able to do with original Linksys firmware.





It means:

1, will be enought reboot from webGUI (Administration\Diagnostic\Reboot button) and then flash mini_wrt320n.bin. (my settings e.g. internet connection type, router IP, DHCP server setting stay unchanged).

or

2, i have to do reset to factory defaults (Administration\Factory defaults button)...and wait for ask to change password when login to the webGUI before flashing mini_wrt320n.bin.

Thanks Confused

Good point.

It is better to do Option 2. Reset to factory defaults BEFORE flashing the firmware.

This option will establish a known baseline for all the internal values and settings on the router before changing to a different firmware.

If possible, keep the existing Linksys firmware password as the same (blank or whatever it is). It should be in the Linksys manual.

So I added it to my "Instructions" post.

bbb_forever - I used your detailed step-by-step instructions in your earlier to post to re-flash my WRT320N (refurb) & it went smoothly -- I've been hammering the poor router since Friday night & it hasn't missed a beat. I figured a refurb will probably either fail pretty quickly or last as long as a normal device, so let's find out which one I have!

Anyway, just wanted to say "thanks" for your detailed instructions, they were a big help.

You're welcome.

I have two refurb Linksys 320n routers, and they're working fine for the past month. I did notice that the cords on one of the power adapter is a bit flaky (probably from too much bending).
But if I don't touch or move the router, it's fine.

I think a lot of people return routers simple because they cannot get it set-up correctly or don't like the wireless range or speed of the router.

But most refurbs routers are excellent working units in my experience.

I wish I saw this thread first... I just went right on ahead to the linksys default firmware page and uploaded the dd-wrt.v24-13493_NEWD-2_K2.6_voip.bin

It actually seems to work okay *keeps fingers crossed*

I did however spend about an hour because the Router/DD-WRT firmware didn't like me using Admin as the username. It wouldn't allow me to save changes. I had to reset to defaults and choose a different username.

Sorry but I don't understand one thing in the bbb-forever's detailed guide: I still need to "erase" nvram by grounding the gpio6 or is no more necessary?

Thanks!
