If it still does not work, try to use ''telnet 192.168.1.1''. If that work and you already used ''passwd'' to setup a password, something went wrong while flashing. Try to reflash the device with the openwrt*.bin file, or open up a forum post for clarification. | If it still does not work, try to use ''telnet 192.168.1.1''.
