tomato linksys e3200 30-30-30 reset
Download the firmware into your PC. Head to http://tomato.groov.pl/download/K26RT-N/build5x-116-EN/Linksys%20E-series/, and grab the E3200USB (check the filename) file. If you have other Linksys routers, you can look around in the directory for your model number.
Perform a 30-30-30 reset of the Linksys E3200. While the E3200 is plugged in with the power on, and no other cables connected, press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Still keeping the reset button depressed, unplug the power cable, and hold the reset button for a further 30 seconds. Finally, with the reset button still depressed, reconnect the power cable, and wait 30 more seconds before releasing the reset button. Altogether, you would have held the reset button for at least 90 seconds.
Login to the E3200. It’s default IP is 192.168.1.1, username is admin and password is admin. I suggest to connect via an Ethernet cable to the LAN port.
Go to Administration, Firmware update.
Select the file you downloaded above. Press Update.
Wait for 5 minutes.
Repeat the 30-30-30 reset again as above.
Login to 192.168.1.1, username is root, password is admin. Again, I suggest to connect via an Ethernet cable to the LAN port.
