Hello Gentleman,

its been years since i had to get back into this, but from a long time ago i have these files:

Backup:
nvrambak_r38159_DD-WRT_EA6500v2_Linksys EA6700.bin

Initial_flash:
linksys-ea6500v2-webflash.bin

Linksys Orginal firmware:
FW_EA6500v2_1.1.42.203057_prod.img

linksys-ea6500v2:
command_NVRAM.txt
linksys-ea6500v2-webflash.bin


I had some concerns with how the wifi is setup on this router, so i did a hard reset (30/30/30)...

now i dont get any of my SSID's i just get dd-wrt...

the biggest problem is i cant get to the GUI, i can TFTP into it... and i have put the firmware several times back on.. but again no access to the GUI...

am i screwed?... tell it to me straight!... lol

is there any going back?...

is it possible to recover this?

any help would be greatly appreciated! truly!...

Do not 30/30/30 this router. I do not have this model and version please do some research.

Search for all terms, display results as posts, return first 1000 characters good.

Or, use a search engine including site:dd-wrt.com. Which build are you running?

I have tried the latest build as well.. R48425... same result (ttl=64, no web GUI)... either im stupid, or im missing what the problem is here....

im not bricked as im getting a response(64), i can load firmware over and over again with success(tftp).. but why cant i get access to the GUI ?....

i have tried from MAC and from PC... doesn't make a difference for me...
