So I went to upgrade DD-WRT that was on the router today, from v23 to v24. I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 v1111 with 4mb flash and 16mb ram. I flashed the file using the TFTP GUI it said successful, then waited. I watched the router restart, and then waited a little more and then proceeded to log into the router. The DD-WRT page came up, but then the router stopped being responsive. So I hard reset it with the 30/30/30 method. I did this a few times and each time the result is the same: the router comes up, lights are solid, power and wlan. when I plug in the lan cable the port active light comes up as well. The problem is it's still not giving any IP Addresses. and Windows detects it as a unidentified network.

I'm using Windows 7, and have tried to manually configure it to 192.168.2.1 but tftp is still not working in any method I've used. Anyone have any idea on what can be done? I read about JTAG but I don't have the tools nor do I even know what that is for it.

Thanks.

Try setting an IP in the 192.168.1.x range if DD-WRT briefly worked then the default IP it uses is 192.168.1.1

Can you get any ping responses from it at all?

Read Note 6 for more troubleshooting below:

Also the Belkin DD-WRT Wiki page for the FD57230-4 might be of help:

Thanks!

That worked... for some reason it looked like the hard reset didn't work. but it looks like it flashed fine.
