Cannot believe it thought I'd upgrade another one of my routers and its done exactly the same thing. All I'm doing is connecting it to a PC by itself downloaded the file and ran the upgrade software on the router. bla bla bla and its broke it, exactly the same as my 2820,.

Draytek are :evil:

Any ideas as I'm totally knackered now.

It just keeps restarting itself. same as the other one in a loop.

Seriously don't upgrade a router as you brick it.

As with my other post for the possibly knackered 2820, I have also tried factory resetting which dows nowt.

Both routers still do exactly the same.

Can Anybody can help me please,

How can these routers just go faulty like this, I've never known anything like it. surley they must have a fallback option to get these back to normal.

please please help me. or do I just throw them both out the window.

cheers

Which firmware did you go from and to with this router?
Neither of the routers is knackered, you just need to reflash them.

If you're going between quite old versions of the firmware and newest versions, back up the configuration then reflash the router using the .rst file, then restore the configuration. It looks like that would be more reliable in your situation.

I cannot do this. I cannot reflash them as I do not get an ip from either of them. how do you propose I do this. Is their some other way.

They both just seem to be restarting or stuck in a loop or something.

Thanks for your reply.

Did you follow the guide I linked in the other thread? you might have to set the IP address manually to the router's default subnet so put the IP address as:
IP: 192.168.1.20
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway & dns blank because they're not needed for this

OK I'll check that out.

Thanks.
