      $7 part to maybe fix a $45 unit. Might not be worth the effort.

        That sounds like the 27 year old me talking to the 37 year old me.

          @fuznutz04 Same method to fix bricked APs, that's how I have done it sometimes is not worth it if there is a part that needs to be soldered.

              This experience solidified the fact that the Er-lite is just better. It has much more storage, so replacing firmware shouldn't be an issue. I think that was the whole problem. There was not enough memory to hold the new firmware file, and due to that, something borked itself.

                It is supposed to delete the prior backup image before downloading the new one. So that should not be the issue.

                  @fuznutz04 What I posted was the fact the USB works even for APs so you have a higher chance to fix it but I am not holding my breath 🙂

                    Well then I'm not sure what the actual cause was. I performed the update as I normally do, but this time the upload failed. Oh well. I'm over it already. 🙂

                      Just happens sometimes. Used to happen all the freaking time in the 1990s.

                        Oh yeah, I've bricked a couple before.

                        Not really the same thing, but still counts as bricking: My first ever PC build...I was so excited, went to a computer show, got all the parts, built the thing, fired it up, and smoke poured out. I had a metal standoff in the wrong place, and it shorted the board.
