Hello,
I think I have found quite a problem with dd-wrt.
I have managed to destroy 2x eoc-5610's with the following software procedure:
I had the EOC's set up as client bridges, I was experimenting and changed one unit to AP mode and then pressing apply - killed it:
Symptoms are no LAN, Power light on and faint WLAN light.
I thought it was simply an unlucky hardware fault - until preformed the same configuration on the second unit - did some tests in client bridge mode, switched the unit to AP mode and bang ! same results dead unit.
My provider wont replace the units because they have dd-wrt on them even though the product box says 'dd-wrt' compatible.
I was using the supplied poe, everything was working - I wasn't working with cables and plug the wrong end in or anything like that.
What can I do ? I cant afford to be loosing units like this.
One little question semi related. I had an old buffalo untit set as an access point and I couldnt get the eoc units to join the network - they would for about 1 sec then drop the connection - is this a typical scenario for different chipsets ?

sounds pretty simple. wan is enabled. device in ap mode. voila. ethernet port is a wan port now and you cannot reach it anymore with ethernet since it is a way port and waiting for dhcp from a dhcp server _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?
