The OpenWrt wiki page explains how to revert back to the original = firmware. http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd TP-LINK make the firmware available for download on their site, so you = don't need to save the one that's in the flash. = http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=3DTL-WR1043ND&version=3D= V1#tbl_j At this time, it is highly recommended to have a serial console cable = soldered to the router. Again, the OpenWrt wiki has information on = that. Stefan --=20 Stefan Bethke Fon +49 151 14070811
