Dear Experts and other Prof users,
please help me restore functionality on my router zyxel P-344WT.
I load openWRT on my device and have only WAN port available,
i try configure LAN and WAN port and now have nothing, no WIFI, no WAN, no LAN.
Ping 192.168.1.1 not succesfull.
I try enter to redboot: after 2 sec power on push reset button 10 sec and in recvudp have message
Msg from 192.168.1.1: Please reset now, to enter Failsafe!
Then push reset button and nothing.
This message i have only in my WAN port, in 4 LAN - nothing.
After install openwrt indicators failed, work only power LED.

Can i load my device in Failsafe?
Maybe i need JTAG cable, but i dont understand such as cable i need, in http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/openwrt … el/p_334wt
no pictures, in http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/openwrt … el/p_335wt have serial pinout.

Please Help if you can.
Very big thanks for any reply!

If u see Msg from 192.168.1.1: Please reset now, to enter Failsafe!
than ur brick is alive and ready to connect via telnet w/o passwords on 192.168.1.1

If the last action for configuring P334 was switch interfaces from static to DHCP - just plug it to the network with DHCP server and see what address will be assigned for ur box.
Than u can access it via Luci or SSH/Telnet again.
