@ David – Glad to see you worked it out. It is hard to count the pins, especially with my bad photo

@ ds – Not sure with a wrt54gl. Haven’t used one of them so I don’t know how different they are to what I have, sorry.

i got a wrt54gl ver 1.1; it probably got a power surge issue. the WLAN works fine and i can on the web interface but the DMZ and the 5 ethernet ports turn on when i plug the power in but then immediately go off. so the DMZ and 5 ethernet ports dont work. what can i do

Thank you very much. It worked after several attempts. I have a WRT54G V5, either I am not counting right, or it is indeed pin 16 which needed to be jumped (to the antenna). You unpaperweigthed my router!!

Sorry to hear it didn’t work. The only thing I can suggest is to check that you are shorting the right pins. The chip is quite small and difficult to count the number of pins.

Didn’t work on my v5 either. Power light blinking, all ethernet & internet lights on solid

Freeman,

Either you were unlucky or the wrong pins were shorted (it is quite difficult to count the pins with them being so small.

Nothing happened when I shorted out the pins. I am not sure if I did not correctly. I used a paperclip and inserted between pin 15 and 16. any comment?
