Topic: reset to original openwrt

The content of this topic has been archived on 2 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi!
I have a tp-link wr703N with a openwrt.
I have erased all network interfaces and now I can't acces to the router via web.
I have read documentation about the sailsafe mode, but I don't understand very well.
I press the reset button 8-12 secondes after I connect the router into CA, and the led flashing very fast.
But, how I must continue to reset openwrt firmware to the defaults settings?
Sorry for my bad english, I'm spanish.

Thanks a lot!

You meed to open a console session with telnet (not ssh).
And then use commands to reset the file system.

If you have installed the normal squashfs version, you need to:
mount_root
firstboot

no need to mount_root wink

I can't  connect with the router sad

Status:
. Using Ubuntu 12.10
. My router conected with ethernet cable and led flashing too fast (and furious smile
. Wifi, and others networks interfaces, disabled
. In editing connections my ethernet interface are setup in manually ip : 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
. I open a terminal and I write: telnet 192.168.1.1
. I get this message: "Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable"

¿Why?

Thanks a lot!

Unless that is a typo, you try to set the PC's IP to the same as the router.

You need to set the PC as 192.168.1.2 or something else, but not .1

Hi!

Yes! I set PC with 192.168.1.2
I was wrong in the las message wink

I have solved, deactivating wifi. My problem was that I tried to conect to a main router. Connect only with ethernet cable and deactivate all others connections.
