Hi all,
I have an ASUS WL500g, which I can flash with a new image (from WiB), but never reach it by any means. My suspicion was a broken fwcf, so I did the following:
- Reflashed original firmware (which worked fine) -- reflashed FreeWRT, same problem
- Flashed OpenWRT (which worked fine) -- reflashed FreeWRT, same problem
On the grounds of that I then tried to put the device into failsafe mode (on FreeWRT).
Here is the output:
greve@cerebro:$ ./failsafe
Msg from 192.168.1.1: Press reset now, to enter Failsafe!

As you can see, entering failsafe seems to work fine and while I could not ping the box when not entering failsafe mode, I can now ping it. But nmap shows that all ports are closed, so there is ultimately no way to connect.
Help appreciated.
