    I have tried over and over - either the "ready" lamp blinks, constantly lit or no lit. In either case no other lamps lights or blinks (which I find wierd) not during or after I release the EZsetup button at whatever timing I try. I cannot ping my router - I get request/attempt timed out also whatever timing I use or whether the ready lamps is on or off or blinks. This happens whether I have the router connected to my LAN connection (internet provider) or not. I have try everything with wireless card or with cabel via my ethernet port having deactivated the other cards respectively.

    I haven't seen any light on the router in the WAN port or in the LAN port for my ethernet cable.

    Other postings seems to refer that they are able to ping the router. I am not, therefore I wonder if something is "broke". But all I did was running the firmware update downloaded from ASUS homepage.

    The half hour I had the WL700gE router working it was running perfectly and I was overly excited to setup the FTP and download manager etc. But I figured that I as well might update the firmware before doing any further modifications in the settings.

    The first 10 min. after I lost the connection during firmware update, I was rather confident that everything would be alright eventually, since I could always reset the router and/or reinstall the software and try over again. However, it doesn't seem to be possible. Now I'm just extremely frustrated, and might end up shipping the product back to the shop and consider whether I want to give this product a new try.

    A firmware update - I mean........

    Very frustrated, any comments are appreciated.

    hmm, it's always possible for me to get the router in that special rescue state.

    Just by unplugging the power cord - waiting few seconds - pluging it in in the same time the EZ-Setup button is pressed and releasing it as soon as the ready led shines. Then the remaining leds also begin to shine.

    If you couldn't get in that state you won't be able to reflash your device due to the mising connectivity.

    Sry ;(

    Perhaps your device has some kind of defect that even made the first flash impossible.
