Draytek Vigor 2960n

[tehmatix]

Hi, I have this router with an issue: I can't connect with network cable or wireless, is permanent restarting, power led and USB2 led flashing. Any ideas

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

Yes. Take the top off and post photos of inside.

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

Do you have any USB device connected? if not, try a hard reset and connect just the router with a pc using a cable.

BTW, check the power adapter just in case.

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

that's a nice build.
i also suspect it could the the psu.

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

I use lots of these for work. They usually only die due to the PSU failing, unless lightning fries them via the DSL line.

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

I made a hardware reset, and I don't have any usb device connected in usb port. Thanks

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

Try with a different PSU.

[tehmatix]

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

I already tried with different psu.

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

Any overheating component? if you have proper tools, try to reflash the firmware (using an external programmer)

[tehmatix]

Re: Draytek Vigor 2760n

I already check capacitors on the board. All components it seems to work normal , no overheating. Which tools I need to make firmware upgrade ?

Re: Draytek Vigor 2760n

CPU Lantiq PSB80910 El V1.2. Is a small memory on bottom MX25L2006E. This device contains the firmware?

[cpt.charlie]

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

Most likely the firmware is stored at the toshia tsop chip TC58NVG0S3ETA00 (128Mb chip) and the MX25L2006E is used to keep some parameters like mac address, serial number..... unles you have acces to the tools i wouldn't bother.

Look like this device can be controlled with console commands, maybe you could connect via console and perform a firmware reset or maybe a remote firmware upgrade, check the manual.

Re: Draytek Vigor 2760n

Hi,
I found on the board 4 pins for serial console ( +3,3V , Rx , Tx , Gnd).
I made a connection with laptop using hyperterminal software and a simple interface. I svae this log:

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

Does the message repeat over and over? if not, it is not rebooting. There are a few messages about bad blocks, this could be the problem, maybe erasing the chip and writing the firmware again may fix it, if not you also have to replace the chip but of course you need an external programmer.

Re: Draytek Vigor 2760n

Do you think is this toshiba chip TC58NVG0S3ETA00 with some problem ?

[tehmatix]

Re: Draytek Vigor 2760n

When I press reset button and turn on , the router expect firmware from Lan port

Yes , this message is repeating on the loop

Re: Draytek Vigor 2960n

Is the router acting like an TFTP server? Can you connect to it? if not you could start a local tftp server with the firmware on it, the router may try to read the file and start a programming process, btw contact with draytek support, they may be kind enought to explain how to set properly the server or at least tell the name of the file that the router is expecting.
