I think I bricked the tp-link router. I changed network settings to DHCP and now I cannot access the router. I think I'm gonna quit the whole hardware mining thing and just stick with cloud mining. Simply wasted money on some stupid devices.

When I connect putty with screen -r command I get the following error. I am using Technobit HEX16B board. I'm following the tutorial "How to upgrade TPLINK TL-MR3020 firmware to technobit openwrt" as is. I'm using 0.3.5 version of firmware from TechnoBit.

Code:
root@HEX16B:~# screen -r 650.btc
[detached from 650.btc]
root@HEX16B:~# screen -r 650.btc
[detached from 650.btc]

I have disabled ntp client, and rebooted, but still the same.
Under the cgminer api log I get the following error.
Code:
[Firmware Version] => 20140702
cgminer: 4_3_4_48ef55a
Socket connect failed: Connection refused

What is the problem? Also for some reason I am not able to ping any address from within my network.
eg: ping 8.8.8.8 will return a request time out. But internet works. Would that be an issue? Any idea? Please help. I've been sitting with this stupid miner for a month doing nothing. Can't able to get it to work, one problem after another.
