Draytek - Firmware

Scream · 9 Oct 2011 at 16:51

I have a 2750N and having a few niggles with it, I thought I would update the firmware to 1.5.1. During the flash, my browser crashed and now the router doesn't register an IP address which means I cannot access it.

I get no response from Draytek support which leaves me with an expensive router that does not work.

Is there any way to recover from a failed flash like you can do with the Netgears? Its my first Draytek so not impressed at all especially with their 'no' support.

What do you mean by it 'doesn't register and IP address'?
There might be some way of telnetting in to it, but I'm not too sure.

Take a look at the section titled, "Abnormal Firmware Conditions".

draytek's UK support are pretty good in my experience, the international one though I wouldnt expect a quick response from.

Firegod's right though, you need to put the router into TFTP mode and reflash it using the firmware utility, that'll get it working again.
