Thanks a MEG! Using ping -t -w 30 192.168.1.1 did the trick!!!
It helped me know exactly when to click on UPGRADE as soon as I got a ping response...

[quote="carlh"]When mine was bricked, I didn't get the green/amber power light until a few seconds after powering on.

If the power light starts out at green/amber and never changes, you're not going to fix it with this topic's method, nor likely any other method.

Another test would be to connect both computer and router LAN ports to an isolated switch, set the computer's IP to 192.168.1.2 and then do a

ping -t -w 30 192.168.1.1 (assuming Windows)

as the router is powered up. There should be 1-3 ping responses from the router. No ping responses would confirm the router is worse than bricked.[/quote]
