Thread: Firmware upgrade failed (trying to restore)

  1. #1

    Firmware upgrade failed (trying to restore)

    After a firmware downgrade from the asus official 1.8.1.7 to 1.7.5.6, the WL500g crashed and never completed the upgrade.
    Now the power light flashes and I can`t access the router.
    I have tried the firmware restore software, using different versions of the firmware, but it fails to complete.

    I get:
    "Upload fails! please check the connection"

    After that power light stop flashing.
    I have tried to press the restore button in the back with and without power on the unit.

    I use a Acer laptop with static IP: 192.168.1.2, Subnet 255.255.255.0 connected directely to the router.

    Please help me out here, im a newbee so be gentle.

    well in first place you should not have upgraded at all,
    try uploading wl500g-recover.trx or something like that

    Are you connecting wireless or wired? If you are connecting wireless, try a wired connection to one of the four ports. Make sure the ip's are in the range 192.168.1.x where x for the computer not equals 1.

    recover firmware requires establishing telnet session to the router. Use this one instead:

    http://wl500g.dyndns.org/wl500g-clear-nvram.trx

    it should wipe the nvram automatically.
