Serial to TTL cable did the trick, just changed eth0 from static to dhcp.

Don't know why the button is not working for failsafe with this version of OpenWRT

What a joy to work with, with that Technobit/cgminer fw! After the recovery reset, is the ip not 192.168.0.254, like here, see the comments? http://tplinkmr3020.blogspot.nl/2012/09/failsafe-recovery-reset.html
What a joy dude
Next time use stock china firmware when yo mine.
So you will mine with 0 GH guaranteed but reset will work eventually
What's your point???
ps I am positive about the tb/cgminer, if you missed that.
Yeah i missed that Wink
My English sucks. Sorry
I am glad you like it.

For the record there is no such thing as factory reset in openwrt using buttons. Reset can be performed only via web.just read what fail safe openwrt mode is and how to use it

1. I never use dhcp for mining
2. I have to dig serial cable like you and I will check this out
I have enough bricks already due to various reasons  Wink so I will find a serial cable and max232 probably pull up res is needed also and will check that out. And I will recover all my bricks Cheesy

I hope marto staff will fix that in upcoming image
I vote dhcp to be removed. If a miner can not set ip mask gw and DNS this stuf is not for him at all
I am sure marto will take care of the above two issues.

All this was caused just by changing the static IP setting to DHCP in Technobit's OpenWRT. Beware of that!  Angry

I managed to accomplish the exact same result as gator, the problem is when you switch from static to DHCP you have to FIRST press the Switch Protocol button, then Save/Apply if not the device remains with static IP but not set any, i.e. null

So far I can not enter failsafe mode, maybe it's not included with this build or the buttons are ignored... don't know the reason. @loshia please share your opinion

P.S.

I have to find my serial cable to fix this piece of plastic  Grin

Did you manage to fix you tp-link gator

Ok
Sorry to say that gator but there is 0 activity on tplink LAN then
It is not asking for ip and also it is not broadcasting so

The only option left is to hack it and use console it is hardware hack

Yo can still try various buttons to reset it while sniffing it can revival itself eventually

I am not so sure whether the switch position had impact to the system but i believe you should move it to 3G/4G.

Since the default IP is 192.168.0.99, maybe after reset the ip will be 192.168.0.99 not 192.168.1.1.

Failsafe Mode

  -  Set your computer's IP to 192.168.0.2, subnet 255.255.255.0
  -  Connect the TL-MR3020 to your computer via ethernet
  -  Power on the TL-MR3020
  -  When the WPS button starts to blink:
       on BB (Breaking Barrier / trunk) move the sliding switch quickly from one side to the other.
  -  Do this until the WPS button starts blinking faster.
  -  The device is now in Failsafe-Mode
  -  You may access it by using telnet 192.168.0.99


If you success then you can give command for full reset
Code:
firstboot

I've tried all three switch positions.
I've tried 192.168.0.99 and 192.168.1.1 and DHCP but no luck, I just can't see it talking on the network or even directly connected.
I tried pressing the button after it flashes, and moving the switch after it flashes, but no luck, there is no high speed flash, and no reset.

All this was caused just by changing the static IP setting to DHCP in Technobit's OpenWRT. Beware of that!  Angry

I even put a router in between the laptop and the TP-Link just to make sure it's served a DHCP address, because setting DHCP Client is what caused this mess, nothing, laptop got a DHCP address, but the TP-Link Lights are on but no one is home.  Huh

Connect tplink directly to your LAN card of PC

You laptop did not picked address at all
There is no dhcp server to give address to your laptop
You do not have a gateway right besides openwrt Technobit build does not have dhcp server build in at all  Wink
Just use wire shark
According to windows rules there is no such thing as de configured state in order words when there is dhcp server to give you agrees windows picks one
Or,just set your laptop to 192.168.1.12/24
Ping 192.168.1.1 -t from dos
And try with reset button
When you do it you will see replies,from 1.1 tplinkk

I set the laptop to 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
Wireshark is recording the LAN
No other IP addresses show up in wireshark.
No response from pinging 192.168.1.1

When I try to do the reset thing when the light blinks on the TP-Link it doesn't blink faster afterwards.

also tried 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0
No response from 192.168.0.99

which is where it original was after installing Technobits OpenWRT.
Connect tplink directly to your LAN card of PC

Fire wire shark
Stop all pings
Start capturing packets
Power tplink
Want 10 secs and post captured packets here

Okay fired up wireshark

It seems to be broadcasting 169.254.85.24

so I set my laptop to DCHP client and it picked up the address

Code:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::150c:a7b3:cc9e:5518%10
   Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.85.24
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

I definatly told the TP-Link/OpenWRT to use a DHCP client, not become a DHCP server!

I'm still none the wiser how to communicate with the thing 255.255.0.0 is a lot of possible addresses.

Does it matter what mode the switch is in? It's in the middle setting WISP.

HELP! Did something dumb.

Logged into TP-Link MR3020 via web page and set Network to from static to DHCP and now I cannot see it on any IP address.

DHCP server is enabled on the Internet router but it don't show up on the network.

I pressed the flashing reset button on boot-up but it didn't seem to reset OpenWRT to 192.168.1.1

Any ideas? Thanks.
Download ethereal wire shark
Install it
Plug tplink in your PC LAN directly
Fire sniffer wire shark
Power up tplink
And it will tell you what is going on Wink
The flashing reset button is biggest one try it one more time
If you did it it will blink like traffic light
And make sure to adjust your LAN settings Also when you are trying to reach 192.168.1.1
There is open telnet on 192.168.1.1 nothing more no web
You have to login and type a bunch of commands Cheesy
Please Read openwrt fail safe procedure first
Ps: I am glad to hear fro you gator even though the occasion is not so good. I thought you've quit mining Tongue
