It should have a failsafe ROM on it that will allow you to repair it even=

after a bad flash. unplug it, hold down the power button, and plug it bac=

in, wait 10 seconds are release the power button.

You should then be able to visit http://192.168.1.251 over ethernet and=20
reflash it. If not, you can call linksys, they will give you an RMA even =

you botched a flash.
