After countless firmware changes (tried the Kfurge upgrade but failed when the packages didn't match the installation instructions), so I went back to the admin site, uploaded 4.6n firmware, and the router went dark.
It's plugged in but the drive doesn't spin up and there are no lights on. Any suggestions?

I can't get by the first step, no power to the lights
If you push them both the ready the ready light starts blinking (Is there life ? ?)

Hi
When no lights starts to blink @ all after holding the buttons for a few sec the box probably died :(. If you got any warenty on youre device you can take it to youre reseller
Sent in for repairs since it's still covered by warranty. I hope they fix/return quickly.
The other day there was a blackout and the lights went out and my router went off along with it. When the electricity turned back on my router loaded up but the hard drive didn't load. I think its pretty much the same as the power cord being unplugged when the router is on. It actually says on the router not to unplug the power cord when the router is on. Is the hard drive damaged? What can I do to get it up and going again? Will I lose everything on it?
You may have to reload the firmware, but you won't lose any data. It's happened to me as well.

I uploaded the WL700gE_kc_1078_02.nas file, but still the same thing. In disk management it comes up with the harddrive being unmounted? How do i mount the harddrive but at the same time I dont wanna lose all my downloads that I have going wit mldonkey.

I guess you have to chkdsk (dos-speak) the drive.
Telnet into the router. If telnet does not work you might have to stop loading rc.local the way KC Furge has described:
Q. I've really messed up my rc.local and now my router won't boot. How can I fix it?
A. Flash the latest image (WL700gE_kc_1078_02.nas) then press and hold the copy button when the ready light blinks three times. Release the copy button when the ready light stays on steady. This will bypass any /opt customizations on your router and boot with only the firmware image contents.
Then, if you're at it, as root, give this command:
reiserfsck /dev/se/2
and follow the instructions.
good luck,
Marc

still no luck I the command reiserfsck /dev/se/2 but when it says yes to continue it just goes back to the command prompt. Also when i log into through telnet i can only login as root with no password, not admin and my password.
Also in disk management is says the harddrive is unmounted, any ideas?

I hope this is clear enough.
- you can only check the filesystem if it is UNmounted, as in your case.
- you have to say Yes and not yes.
with reiserfsck --help you get more options.
After the repair has finished correctly, you should be able to reboot the router and see your disk mounted as usual.

Hmm... I hope someone else has some clue?
I'm almost out of ideas.
But please tell what you get with:
mount
and try
reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/se/2
You could also try to mount it yourself, and post here what you get with:
mount -t reiserfs /dev/se/2 /shares/MYVOLUME1

Buddy,
You problay lost only some time, as we all do now and then.
When I told you to check dev/se/2 I was referring to the wrong partition. It has something to do with mirroring, but don't ask we how and what and why.
Actually the disk in the Asus is hiding here:
/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0
if you do:
ls /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0
I get:
disc part1 part2 part3 part63
If I'm not wrong, disc refers to the whole hard drive, part1 and part2 both contain a part of the firmware, part3 is where all your stuff goes (/opt, /shares/MYVOLUME1), and part 63 is, well, I don't know.
Try
reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
Maybe you should also check part1 and 2, but part3 is where your data is for sure.
Plus I don't know what filesystem is on part1 and part2.
- check and repair part3.
- reboot

If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is

Is that what I should be getting?
Buddy,
Finaly you got some results!
The check on part3 took only 5 minutes, which is very short. Your drive is filled with 125 GB if I'm correct. My drive has 180GB and checking it took some hours.
But that is no real concern.
The other parts 1, 2 and 63 have most likely no Reiser filesystem.
You could try to check them with fsck (fsck /dev...../part1 etc)
All in all I now think that the Asus lost it's knowledge of your system volume, but that all data is still there.
Creating a new volume will probably wipe out that data.
Please search this forum on this topic, because I can't do much more for you.
If there is no certain way to recreate the system volume, you should have a look here:

i think you just need the firmware uploaded like this one
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=9632
but i notice that this one is not secure yet...check asus site and choose download from the top menu and again download
then select wireless and ap/router and your unit to get the WL-700gE Firmware Version 1.0.7.8 file around 17mb in size : WL700gE_1078.zip
I had the same issue and could not use it for some time...
on the cd that came with the unit is a program to restore the firmware
but should also be available on the download site of asus...you would need the
"Rescue700g.exe" program to restore the unit to factory default.
if you do not have the cd you can try using
this link (http://www.xs4all.nl/~xaviera/Utility_1700.zip) to get the Utility_1700.zip file
Thanks for you're advise. I don't even get an IP anymore. It's totally bricket. I'll try to make a hard reset by using a pin or metal. Could never be worse than this. :p

so no lol then...and did you try to set a fixed ip address in your network settings
e.g. 192.168.1.10 and ping 192.168.1.1 your router? does the unit startup?
and if it does are you connected by cable? is the cable ok!? can you see the unit in network environment of your windows?
Hi all,
I sort of having the similar problem describe in this thread by buddy where I could not see /shares/MYVOLUME1.
I follow through the discussion here and was manage to mount /shares/MYVOLUME1 back.
Apparently, as describe by mumsoft, the disk is hiding there in ;
/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0
What I did was to remount the /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 as follow ;
mount -t reiserfs /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /shares/MYVOLUME1
I got an error ;
mount: mounting /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 on /shares/MYVOLUME1 failed: No such file or directory
What I did was to go ahead and create the directory /shares/MYVOLUME1 and then repeat the mounting comand again.
This time, the command went through without error and I got all my data back :
Here are the extract from telnet ;
=======================================
#
# mount -t reiserfs /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /shares/MYVOLUME1
