I flashed some firmware (direct link here) onto a brand new TP-LINK TL-WA901ND v2, and now it doesn't look very good.
The power LED is on, and the LAN LED lights up when I attach the cable to my computer but the WLAN and SYSTEM are now always off.
When I attach the cable to my computer, I cannot access http://192.168.1.1
.
I haven't much experience on bricks, but this looks like one.
Doing a netscan on my network I see:
network router Router 192.168.1.1 MAC-ADDRESS
network router Router 224.0.0.1 MAC-ADDRESS
unidentified device hidden 224.0.0.251 MAC-ADDRESS
I tried to telnet and ssh 192.168.1.1
with no luck.
Any advice?
UPDATE
I tried to do the 30/30/30 reset, and nothing changed.
I tried the tftp transfer using the original firmware from TP-Link; this is the output:
tftp> connect 192.168.1.1
tftp> binary
tftp> rexmt 1
tftp> timeout 60
tftp> put wa901nv2_en_3_12_16_up(120224).bin
Transfer timed out.
Basically, it's not answering to tftp (and timing out).
I tried also immediately after a reset, during boot time, but had no luck.
tftp
right as it's booting up. The process is explained here.tftp
to it. It will, however, respond to ARP requests, so you can confirm that it's working that way.tftp
started in. Keep trying around reboot time. If you got an ARP reply, it will work.
