I've found out that even this particular entry level router supports anti-bricking, so there's no need for soldering, unless of course you are modding. The method I used is the following: Set up a tftp server on your PC and verify if it works correctly (configuration, permissions, firewalls, etc.) Rename your target firmware to wr740v4_tp_recovery.bin and copy it to your base folder (by default /tftpboot). I tested with openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr740n-v4-squashfs-factory.bin r43602. Set up the following static IP for your PC: 192.168.0.66 /255.255.255.0. If you're not sure about the firmware name on a different model, start a packet sniffer on your PC ( tcpdump -i eth0 -n -l ) and look for the name in the RRQ message. Preferably disconnect WAN from the router Connect the PC to a LAN port Power off the router Press and hold the reset button Power on the router After the leftmost (power) LED and the rightmost (padlock) LED turn on alone in a few seconds, release

ReplyDeleteI don't think it's a real problem. Nobody of your blog's planned target audience works at a place like this.
People interested in computer science, in software or hardware business especially must be given free access to forums and blogs in order to solve their everyday work issues. Or else they'll be not just disappointed but even inefficient in their work.
I can say I know it very well - my previous company was such a silly workplace. They tried to over control our network usage - finally I punished them by quitting my job. :)
BTW Google lets you set up blogger to use a custom domain name. So you can easily continue blogging on your own domain. More details:

Hello Mr. L! You may have some truth there, but I do wish to provide redundancy to combat a possible malfunction.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your CNAME suggestion, I'll take that into consideration. Sadly, I do not have the permission to create aliases at the moment (reached limit: 0...) - I may need to switch hosts. Good thing you've pointed that out at the beginning. Note that I could also install my own PHP-based blog! :) However, we both know that there's nothing more reliable than static HTML! ;)
