Hi, I have a tp-link w703n v1.6 with openwrt,
I use it as an access point, it is working ok right now.
But when i go to http://192.168.1.1/, I get my other router web ui
and if I connect the lan cable from the w703n to my laptop (win 7) and disable wireless, http://192.168.1.1/ don't bring up anything.

So I have tried the "Reset" button many times, the blue led flashed fast... but http://192.168.1.1/ still give me nothing.

How can I "factory reset" the w703n?

Thanks

do the "reset" where you get fast flashing (this is failsafe mode - it is not a reset). Then using a terminal app telnet to 192.168.1.1 (connected via ethernet) and type firstboot
But your problem most likely does not lie there. 703n lan needs to be on a different subnet to your other router, eg 192.168.2.1
This is all explained in the wiki docs.

thanks, but the procedure is not working..
router led blinking fast
laptop wireless disabled
lan cable connect router and laptop
cmd

telnet 192.168.1.1
Connecting To 192.168.1.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: C
onnect failed

is the LED blinking faster than when you just boot normally? To get to failsafe you need to push the button just once AS SOON AS the LED starts flashing.

yes, very fast
i took a video to be sure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQbjA6TLH-M

What image did you load? sqashfs? If not, there is no failsafe mode.

openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin

Do you have a fixed ip on your laptop in the 192.168.1.x range (run ipconfig from dos prompt to find out)?  If not, set it up in control panel and try again.

Thanks, that made the telnet thing work. now my router is firstbooted.

Good job! I wish I'd spotted lizby's "obvious" question. Sometimes you don't see the forest for the trees.

Hi

I have the same problem. Tp-wr703N v 1.6. And I installed openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin. But I could not get into the router.

I have a fix ip (192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0) and light running fast. But telnet doesn't work. Putyy also not work with 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 port 23

When I try automatic ip and write in cmd: ipconfig /all
appears

ipv4: 168.254.83.195
subnet: 255.255.0.0
gate:0.0.0.0

Using windows 8 and linux

Why if I have made the same?

Regards
