    Well worth it! This is a very important piece of hardware for me, I've kept it alive for many years, fixing hardware and software (the N16 has a electrolytic capacitor that has a tendency to blow up... replaced that one with a higher voltage rating part and it revived the router!). Will upgrade...

    Thanks! I did compare it, the JFFS partition was not present, the CFE location was the same, so was the NVRAM the linux partition had a different offset if I remember correctly. Didn't save the output as the most important thing IMHO was the JFFS and it wasn't there. I then did a firmware...

    LATEST NEWS!!! Managed to restore a mini DD-WRT after fumbling with the red WPS button and the reset button... based on a post where the recommendation was to erase flash memory and then immediately start recovey more. I did this, and recovery mode engaged. Tried restore with the smallest...

    Thanks again John, unfortunately no luck with this technique either. I managed to get the router in Recovery mode after letting it unplugged all night. Started the recovery tool, it managed to get past halfway the TFTP portion, then it aborted got a solid power light and could not restart...

    Thanks, John! Trying to do this but don't forget, the crux of this issue is that I cannot enter the recovery mode anymore!!! :mad: :mad::mad: Today after leaving the router off for a few hours I tried again, and got teased with a short period of blinking light that resembled recovery mode. I...

    Thanks Colin! Yes, Merlin have removed support for the N16 and as you said, old versions are not on their site although it's always possible to find some hoarder that has it, I myself might have it in some old notebook or archive drive. My question is more oriented to finding a firmware that...

    Thanks for the quick response! Flash had all the time it wanted, used the ASUS recovery util first, the TFTP portion went just fine then it waits for a long time (I had dinner in between) then it gave up, don't recall the exact wording of the error but it basically didn't get to reboot. After...

    Hi there, thanks for providing this code and discussion! I have an ASUS RT-N16 HW Version A1 which had Merlin installed on it. As I wanted to upgrade, I tried installing RT-N16_374.43_29E2j9527 using the recovery console. It failed installing, and I was left on recovery mode. I then downloaded...
