I have a Linksys WRT54GS router. I upgraded to the DD-WRT firmware. I got in to the router and made several changes to IP, disable DHCP, and now the power light blinks constantly and I can not get any connectivity to the router. I have tried to reset it many times with no success. Have I killed the router?

Try installing the firm ware that was meant for your model check to see what version it is first. Then retry your router to see if it works.

If you can't connect to it, it is very difficult to upload firmware...
If you have tried the hardware reset to no avail, I would suggest it is pooched, if not, I would try the hardware reset. (If memory serves, but check the manual as it doesn't always) hold the reset button in with a pen while you turn the power on

I agree 100% with #3, start with a call to Lynksys before you make it any worse.. they may be able to salvage from this point.

I did the same thing to my Linksys Router/Switch (BEFSR41) the first time I tried to upload a Firmware update. In my case it was due to using an unsupported web browser.

You could try doing an hardware reset, but it may not work.

The Blinking tells me it is not finishing its boot process.

Call Linksys Tech support and they will help you better.

Before you do any of the previous suggestions try this link.

You disabled the DHCP server and changed the ip. Which ip. If you changed the network ip and submask you have to set the computers information to match. IP and Submask.

Linksys will not support anything but their firmware.
