Hi Randy, > following http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wndr3800 section on > "Recovery flash in failsafe mode," i hold factory button, power on, and > in 30-40 seconds it goes from no connect to mashed ether frames
Try to press the factory button repeatedly instead of holding permanently, the power led should indicate the failsafe mode by blinking faster than usual (on most devices). $ telnet 192.168.1.1 Once you get into failsafe mode, try to establish an internet connection and download a working firmware (e.g. barrier breaker [1]). You can also transfer an image via tftp or netcat. # cd /tmp # wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img Verify the md5 checksum (6f528d32d7cdbbfbebce8453f0ae8e65): # md5sum /tmp/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img On your router, use the 'sysupgrade' tool to flash the new firmware: # sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img After the flashing process, reboot the device: # reboot -f And the router should come up with a clean barrier breaker installation. You can then try to upgrade to trunk again, if it fails with the same behaviour again, please file a bug [2]. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
