I have a Brume2 that I've used since April 2024 for a home VPN server with wireguard. I just tried to use it for the first time in a few weeks to prep for upcoming travel, and it's not working.
I see that it has a solid blue light. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting power. I tried connecting my home PC to it using the LAN port, but I was getting a white screen at 192.168.8.1 and now I'm just getting site can't be reached.
How can I fix this? Is my Brume2 dead? I believe I'm covered under 2 year warranty after purchasing from Amazon in April 2024.
Are you sure the ip is correct? Have you tried the wan port?
Yeah, I tried connecting my PC to both the LAN and WAN ports. I was using 192.168.8.1, which I used in the past and is written on the physical box
I tried following the uboot instructions (Debrick via Uboot - GL.iNet Router Docs 3). My light does turn white when I power on with the reset button. When trying to run the update though I get the following message (tried with latest two firmware versions from GL.iNet download center). The light also shuts off, even though power is still plugged in, when I get this message:
UPDATE FAILED
Something went wrong during updateProbably you have chosen wrong file. Please, try again or contact with the author of this modification. You can also get more information during update in U-Boot console.
Does your pc get an ip from the router?
Well, I have the same issue as described above, upgrading a Brume 2 from 4.7 to 4.7.4. Additionally, after normal boot the device is not responding and in LAN does not respond to DHCP DISCOVER messages. I have contacted support for advise how to proceed - waiting for their feedback. I have a second brume 2 on 4.7 but I will hold back the upgrade to 4.7.4 until clearance from support team.
I don't have problem updating my brume2 to the latest uboot and firmware.
Thanks Kaz,
Update from my side - the particular unit is probably totally bricked. I tried with another Brume 2 unit I have and everything is fine indeed.
Thanks a lot to the GL Inet support team - they have been very supportive. According to them this particular unit is indeed bricked.
