Topic: WR850GV2 update problem

I updated the firmware in my WR850GV2 router.  It seems to be fine except I can't access the router.  It doesn't respond to any of the IP address.  I don't think I bricked, but you never know.  It had a static IP before I flashed it.  It was also using 6.14.  I still get a power light(solid), wireless light(flashes), and a port number light(flashes). 

Does that seem like I messed it up or just not getting the right IP addy?

Try with default IP:
LAN: 192.168.10.1

I tried it with that addy.   The addy that I had before and with 192.168.1.1.  No go.

I did manage to get into failsafe mode.  When in failsafe mode the 192.168.1.1 addy starts showing on the network and I can telnet into the router.  But I still don't get in via http.  Once out of failsafe the IP addy disappears from the network.   

Is there some step to this that I missed?  Some part of the setup I am supposed to do?

Well,  I tried it today when I got home.  Now the webif works.  Woohoo.

Not sure why I couldn't get it to work yesterday.

The discussion might have continued from here.
