Hello all.

Please, can somebody help me with this? I have tried to upgrade my RE210 Extender firmware and something went wrong and I bricked my device.

How can I recover its firmware and make my RE210 work again? I turn it on and it just blinks its power led. When I plug it through LAN connector it show an extrange IP: 169.254.205.94

I have seen a solution for routers http://www.tp-link.com/sa/faq-1482.html But is there a similar solution for RE210?

Thank you!

Erico Serravite.

That router recovery solution is not suitable for range extender. Try reset the extender several times to see if it will recover

Hello Shield101,

I have tried many times to reset with no luck. I will try to recover by reflashing its firmware through serial port. I will need to solder a bar of pins and communicate with it using a serial port RS232 using putty and other tools.
I disassembled the unit to figure out how to fix it. I suppose JP1 is the entry point for RX TX GND and Power serial communication. As the unit is not working I will try to fix it.
