Hello everyone!
My FOn just cuts off it’s web interface access (169.254.255.1) I tried reseting it but it’s just wont work. It’s already has the latest 2.4 version. The wifi led does not light up. The only thing that i can access is by re-flashing it via redboot. But after that, same thing, i can’t access either thru command promp’s telnet or via web browser. Can someone help me revive my FON? Thanks in advance.

Okay I went through and had dd-wrt v24 sp1 running on the fon 2100. But I wanted to downgrade to v24. I accidentally picked the wrong firmware and now my router only blinks on internet and power. I can redboot in, and have gone through both ways of flashing the firmware that are listed, everything completes, but the wlan won’t come on and I can’t ping the thing…can someone point me in the right direction?

I did all those instructions like RC7 and all went ok but since the last restart my FON never turned on the WiFi led. Never responded on my ping’s. I am confuse and i am going to throw it from the fifth flor or burn it cause i spend half day tryin. But it will have a second chance to survive if someon explain me what to do !! Really were can i verify what version of RC have?? Thanks guys.

Hi guys,

I am on the redboot step,
when I try to enter :

fis create linux [ENTER]

I wait a long time (>5 min), but it outputs nothing, and end up with the putty is disconnected.

anyone has the same problem?
