Hi,
I've been running dd-wrt (kong) on a R7000 router for several months now. Using PIA VPN and I decided tonight to change DNS servers and now I can't access the router at all. Have I bricked my R7000?? Please help!
I'm running through my ISP's router in bridge mode, I've rebooted it all (disconnecting all connections etc, waiting, rebooting). Checked connections to make sure they are working (they are, which is how I'm online now).
I then had this connected to the R7000 with DD-WRT, with a VPN (PIA) running. When I changed the DNS servers everything went to hell. I cannot connect at all to the router now (via wireless or ethernet). I keep getting an unidentified network and limited connection and cannot access the GUI through browser (yes I have cleared the cache). I also tried running ipconfig but there is no default gateway listed.
Sorry for originally posting in the wrong location.
I did go back read the announcements. Sorry, I do not recall what version of kong I'm running (but it was installed last Oct. and would have been most current then).
I did try a hard reset 30-30-30 (timed it) and it did not help.

Well after the overwhelming response of zero I'm guessing I've not followed some forum etiquette and I'm on my own.
I'm trying my best to follow the peacock thread to see if my router is bricked.
It says to:
Quote:
d. Set your computer ip address to 192.168.1.10 (if that is the same subnet as the router is supposed to be at).
e. Try to ping the router using the command "ping -t 192.168.1.1" (presuming that 192.168.1.1 is the address your router was set to.) See if there are ANY responses. (There WILL be A response...you are looking for a ttl= response)
Is step "d" really 192.168.1.10 or is supposed to be the same IP as the router at 192.168.1.10.
Also, I don't know the subnet but I used the default of 255.255.255.0 or something like that.
I've tried it exactly as written and I get no response. If I set both to the same IP I get a ttl=128.
So now what? Please someone help, I'm trying my best here.
I connected to the router and ran ipconfig from command line and got an IP 169.254.205.103 and subnet 255.255.0.0
Tried changing my computer to IP 169.254.205.100 and same subnet and tried to ping ...103 and got nothing again. I also tried https:// that IP in a browser but no dice either. I have no idea how the router got this IP address and why the 30-30-30 reset isn't taking it back to default. ARRRGH!!
I feel like I'm talking to myself but I'm still holding out hope that there is someone kind enough to assist me.
