But you can initiate a break sequence by doing the following:
- Obviously connect to the router via the console port
- Open a hyperterminal/terminal session (I use Putty.exe) and set the connection to use serial and a speed of 1200.
- Power off the router and back on again, whilst pressing the keyboard every second, for 10-15 seconds. You will just see a load of crap on the screen, but thats not a problem.
- Close the terminal session (do not power cycle the router or anything) and open a new one with the correct baud speed of 9600. You may have to press enter, but it'll put you at the Rommon prompt.
Thank you this worked for me :)

ReplyDeleteNice tip! Tks
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! I actually needed to keep pressing keys for over 30 seconds but it worked in the end. Thanks
ReplyDeleteTks man!
ReplyDeleteThis is epic. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat. Thanks from Africa.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Also found I had to press keys for about 30-60 seconds. But it worked. Maybe because I am using an older/slower router.
