Try the boot-with-reset-pressed procedure, as I described above.
Configure your network adapter with a fixed IP of 192.168.0.9
On my network card I write Ip address 192.168.0.9 and nothing else, right ?
I will Try tomorrow, if I have another quesions I will right It. Thanks a lot for your help
IP address 192.168.0.9
Usually windows auto-configure the network mask when you just click in the field. Otherwise, configure it to 255.255.255.0.
conect a cable between the router and computer, press reset then turn on the router. After about 10s release the button. From IE, access http://192.168.0.1. It should present you the recover page.
If that doesn´t work, your way will be to use the serial connection, as outlined in kapastratos post.

I understood kapastratos' router flash with another version, but router is bricked, my is not bricked, I have got ip and ping, What procedure I do to " reborn " my tenda ?
IF the procedure with booting the router with reset button pressed doesn´t work ( I really don´t remember if the W311R+ has the emergency boot page. D-Link DIR-600 surely has ) , you follow the procedure he used.
In short, with the serial console, you stop boot, transfer the firmware to the router through tftp, then write it to the flash.
In which country are you ? Maybe there is some Tenda technical repair shop around you.

I am from Bulgaria. If I make wrong this procedure can I start from begining or this is the end
As long as you don´t overwrite the bootloader, it is ok, you can keep trying. But first things first, are you sure of the old version number ?
By the way, I saw you asked some times in the forum about dd-wrt. The 311R+ doesn´t have enough flash for that, so forget.
If I mistake a procedure is there any way to fry again or my router is over. Yes H2_v3.2.4h is old firm. Tenda tech Support sent me to skype. Is there any way to flash with out serial console, only with tftp. Is kapastrasos' procedure risked ?
If your router works, you can let it the way it is. If you can´t, because some of the disabled functions are necessary, we can say it is already bricked. So, nothing to lose.
As long as you don´t make a mess with the solder job, small chance to fry the router.
BTW, remember to unzip the firmware first..
You need the serial console to stop the boot process, and initiate the ftp transfer.
Try first the boot-with-reset-pressed procedure. If that doesn´t work, you can decide if it is worth to keep trying , or it would be easier to dump it in the trash can and buy another good-working router.

If first procedure don not have effect, I will fry second procedure. A chance to ruin my router is very weak, right ?
Just work with care. If you are afraid you cannot solder it, take it to someone who is good with soldering small components.
Hi !!! I have got ping and ip address of my tenda w311r+. I flashed with wrong firmware version. Can telnet or tftp help me to back old firmware. Thanks
They have some good information. Basically, you need to build the circuit and connect it to a serial port. If your computer don´t have a serial port, follow the route using a cellphone cable. They mention some for Siemens and Nokia phones that people has have success with.
No need to hurry, read and understand the circuit function before starting.
