unbrick whr-hp-g54

I flashed a new whr-hp-g54 router with dd-wrt.v23_generic firmware.
The router had the default settings out of the box. I cannot log in to
the router with 192.168.1.1 user name root password admin.
I also tried to log in with 192.168.11.1 root as user name and no luck
also. Is it possible to restore this router ?

I found this info on unbricking so what the heck, I might as well try
this solution.

The TFTP method works for me. I bricked one when I rebooted too
quickly after flashing the router. When it says it's done and to
click "continue", but it's still busy doing something inside. Go away
for perhaps 3-5 minutes and then click "continue".

I haven't had any luck with shorting the pins method on a WRT54G. I
haven't had to try it with a Bufallo.

If you want go back to the original Buffalo firmware, DD-WRT maintains
a small archive at:

It does not sound like a brick if you can try to login. I found this
on the dd-wrt wiki and i wonder if it applies to you. at least you
could try logging in using telnet and see if you can connect. Some
things don't work with firefox according to the wiki as well.

Additional to WHR-HP-G54 - Changing boardflags

Since v23 SP2, this is no longer necessary. See
WHR-HP-G54#Built-in_amplifier for details.

Telnet to router. Telnet is a network command environment. Open a
telnet session in windows by typing telnet 192.168.1.1 in a command
window.
The username is 'root', password 'admin'
Enter the following commands
nvram show | grep boardflags
boardflags=0x1758

~ #
if you have 0x1758, change it to 0x2758
Use this code:
nvram set boardflags=0x2758
nvram commit
reboot
This setting appears to turn on a feature on the HP receive side,
dramatically increasing receive capability.
This feature is not saved with the GUI Backup, so must be redone after
every instance of going to default.
