Hello,

I have a Linksys WRT54GS v.6 (bought it before I researched it, my fault), and it was working with the DDWRT Beta micro build from 8/15/2007. However, when I updated it to the latest RC (RC 7 micro), I lost all internet connectivity. The update said it was a sucess, I had no power failure or anything of the sort.

I powercycled my router/modem after a few hours of rebooting the modem through the admin page. After power cycling, my router no longer lets me get to the admin page, because I get an error message stating that the page cannot be found. I can't access the router anymore.

The Cisco systems light doesn't turn on anymore, and when I restart my router via power cycling, the power button flashes for a bit before it gets going.

Any help would be appreciated

Press and hold the reset button on the back for 30 seconds...let it boot up.

Open your browser and clear cache/cookies (or try another browser)

Navigate to 192.168.1.1 See if you can access it now.

That did the trick, thank you.

I had to reboot the modem a few more times as well as the router. The router didn't let me log in with "root" admin combo for like 10 minutes. I had to do that 30 second trick again.

Thanks a lot
