Hi guys! I have this router named Gothan, a Brazilian brand introduced in the market a few years ago. It is a WN513N1-C series as per attached pic. The problem is that I wanted to update the OS and could not find from Gothan and I found one at Win-Star web page. But unfortunately, after updating it, it seemed to be bricked. When I power it on, all the leds goes on and then off and only power led remains on and nothing happens. No access at all to the router. Then digging on the net I found another firmware 8196-M1-v9.4_wap254n-ptbr.bin from UpRouter.com and this happened: But before this I would like to show the firmware once loaded. It has the following IC's: RTL8196E, RTL8188ER, CFEON QH16-104HIP and ESMT M.1 2L128168A / AZN1P22W6
Original firmware: Firmware_GWR100_LED_Azul.bin then updated to Win-Star firmware that bricked it: 12-WN513N1-C_WRE1.344.41.20130713.no-HW_fwc.bin. Then tried to load the 8196-M1-v9.4_wap254n-ptbr.bin and I got this:

And it keeps on loop. Can't do anything. I loaded the firmware using the usb to serial cable and ttl to rs232 pcb.
I can't ping the router with ip 192.168.1.7 as configured. The ip it used when it was ok to access it through web page was 192.168.0.1. From this all, what can I do to fix it? Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me on this.
I don't know how to upload the image to this post.
