Hi,
you must read english to use my tips for aliving alfa w610. Here is full manual and firmware to repair your alfa device.
Sorry for my very bad english typing.
hasDon't hurry up, you must be be consistent and the first several times, and reading comprehension, make sure you know what it will do. And the only way you can be successful with the W610i
here is my few tips:
have you knowledge / experience about TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol)?
If no, search wiki or net, you can easy find any tips! Also you can write me, if you still not qualified about TFTP. Low level knowledge about TFTP you need, if you want repair Alfa (and few other devices with losted standard http communication).
If you are understanding TFTP, then you can use following steps to wake up your Alfa AIP W610.
Note: original firmware has been released in two parts (unknown reason for me). If you upload firt part (bigger) to device, you will not have succesfully repaired. My first experience ;-). My next attempt (succesfull): Join both binary fw files (bigger first, append second small file) to one and this joined file upload to device.
Stupid pre-tips:
1: download attachment from this mail and extract it to any directory on your computer [eg. Desktop/AlfaRepair]. In this directory you must see also file firm.bin
2: Your network adapter must have a traffic /transparrency for this net area: 192.168.1.* AND your PC net adapter cannot have these adresses: 192.168. 1.6 and 192.168.1.254 and 195.168.1.255 (to avoid communication conflict:-) )
192.168.1.6 is a port, where is listening Alfa device for tftp.
This guide I'm writing just from memory, it's been a long loong time..
Files for firmware you can join/merge with any good binary editor, and you must be careful.
I tried to connect himself hastily files that one, I think it's OK [firm.bin]. In attachment you can also find original two parts firmware, if you want testing it.
Instructions:
1. Verify firewall setting for port TFTP - open it, or temporailly disable your firewall [better option].
2. Connect your Alfa device with computer, via standard UTP (network) cable.
3 Run cmdline in directory where is extracted file [firm. bin].
Type command " tftp -i 192.168.1.6 PUT firm.bin " and do NOT! Enter now.
4.If you have Alfa device power On, then disable from mains, press reset button on device and hold, plug device to mains and still hold reset button cca 5 seconds. then release RESET button. LED controls on device are stable light (without flashing), this is point (time) ideal for working with device via TFTP.
Note: availability a port for tftp cannot verify with ping [ICMP]! :-)
5. Now in cmd window press Enter to execute TFTP command and wait for finish, or instruction. Don't interrupt transfer!
6. After succesfully finished transfer, you can close cmd and unplug Alfa device from power
Plug Alfa device to mains and wait, cca 2 minutes.
Then you can try http on default http address in browser
.
After this work remember re-enable your firewall!!
If you're successful, you can support me. I'm from the Czech Republic.
