reseting router firmware

i have a linksys WRT54G v3 router and im in a bit of a bind.... i was originally having problems with it kicking me and my roommates off the network... i decided to try updating the firmware... unfortunately, i downloaded and uploaded the incorrect firmware for this router... it seemed to be working, but i wanted the correct firmware, so i download the correct firmware and uploaded... here's the problem.. it said upgrade was successful, but not it is virtually unusable. i cant connect wirelessly or wired.

the power led continually blinks and never stops no matter what i try. i've tried reseting the router in all ways i know how (i googled it) but nothing seems to work... shorting the pins inside is another possible solution, but it would void my warranty, and im not sure i want to do that. is there a certain method using the reset button that would reset the firmware? any and all replies/solutions are welcome and very much appreciated.

 

Have you tried contacting Linksys? They would probably have the best solution for you, and could direct you to perform them without voiding your warranty.

Just a thought.

 

You can downgrade your firmware. Download the file, and install the firmware, like before.

 

i cant do anything with the router... i cant connect to it at all.

 

If you can't connect to it at all...I am confused. Your first post said it was working.

You have to use tftp then.

You may want to do a hard reset first, to see if that gets you into it.
