GL-AR300M16 Unsuccessful Uboot

Routers
1

Hi everyone, need some urgent help for my GL-AR300M16. I was trying to update my router’s firmware and accidentally uploaded the firmware for GL-AR300M instead (The box states the model as GL-AR300M but the label on the router states GL-AR300M16).

I’ve followed the Uboot instructions and everything goes well until after uploading the firmware. The router shows 2 green lights for power and configurable, but the red wireless light never switches on and I can’t find the SSID or connect through LAN. So that means I can’t access the web admin panel at all as well.

I’ve tried the Uboot process on different browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and on different OS (mac, windows) but to no avail.

I have also looked through the forum and tried all methods posted but nothing works so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

Hi, yes I am able to access the uboot interface and upload the firmware. I’m not sure what the issue was, but after trying it on another mac, I was able to successfully upload the firmware and it is working now. Thank you!

Our experience shows that the ethernet compatibility should be an issue for uboot.
Glad you find a way.
