Next time, if you're curious what went wrong, you can hook up a serial
console (ttl 3.3v version) to pin headers that are inside.  Depending
on the router, the pins might just be holes and need to be soldered.
Pretty much all routers boot with a serial console enabled, and from
there you can tell what is going wrong and fix it.  In the world of
router hacking, a 3.3v serial console cable (usually usb-serial) is
_de rigueur_.
