WZR-HP-G300NH tftp issues

[macfive]

I am having an issue with a WZR-HP-G300NH when trying to tftp to update the firmware. It was working just fine until I tried to add the WAN Port into the LAN switch and I can’t log into it anymore. I have tried various methods to tftp to update it, do a hard reset, etc. but nothing seems to take. I know that it’ not bricked because it will turn on and show wireless access but pass no traffic. In the past, I was only able to tftp using a linux terminal, I have used the following commands with various MAC addresses without any success, using any of the LAN or WAN ports. Any ideas as to what else to try? Thanks.

 

sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.11.2

sudo ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0

sudo arp -s 192.168.11.1 0024A5AFF428

tftp 192.168.11.1

tftp>verbose

tftp>binary

tftp>trace

tftp>rexmt 1

tftp>timeout 60

tftp>connect 192.168.11.1

tftp>put wzrhpg300nh-176.bin

 

 

I have also tried using 02aabbccdd20 and 02aabbccdd1a for the MAC address.

Was telnet enabled in your router? You might be able to telnet in to it and reset it that way.

I tried using telnet or ssh with all the known default IP addresses or the last saved IP address for the router without any success, I will try again. I was hoping to be able to just reflash the router.
