Model : TL-WA5210G

Hardware Version : v1

Firmware Version : was upgrading to 111209

ISP :

So this happened 5-6 months ago and I tried updating firmware on my TL-WA5210G.

I was not attentive and chose 1.2 is version 2 h/w in firmware download or something went wrong during f/w upgrade

Long story short I can only see that power LED is on now. After much research in last couple of months I was able to get serial console by soldering into UART terminals inside :)

connecting USB-TTL to my MAC and setting baud rate to 38400 I am only able to get this repetitive response and device gets restarted every 10 seconds.

[CODE]
sh-3.2# cu --parity=none -s 38400 -l /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
Connected.

I know 5210G is now end of life, but I dont want to part with my sleek CPE yet.

Any hopes of reviving this ? or its a dump now ?

Hola señor Victor
Gracias por su respuesta. Estaba siguiendo tu post.
Hay un problema en mi caso. No estoy consiguiendo comienzo del bootloader.
Sólo romstart falló cada 10 segundos ..
Intenté entrar TPL, pero no sucedió nada. ¿Es si completamente bricked?
