Re: Telnet problems with WR703N

Well seing the default hostname the box currently has, I starting to think you probably currently have DD-wrt installed.
Also I would urge you to install the wr703 firmware only and not the one for the mr3020.

To be certain if you are on dd-wrt enter the following command:
cat /etc/motd
And see if it exists and if it does, you are on DD-wrt that is not the same as OpenWrt.
The image from dd-wrt for the wr703 is based on OpenWrt Kamikaze (rather old) with a lot of customization.

Since the device only has 4MB internal flash memory I would recommend you to install the piratebox custom image: http://stable.openwrt.piratebox.de/ar71xx_AA_BB_0.1/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin

The easiest way to flash this image over dd-wrt is to make sure that your box is connected to the internet and issue the following commands:
wget -O /tmp/firmware.bin http://stable.openwrt.piratebox.de/ar71xx_AA_BB_0.1/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
mtd -r write /tmp/firmware.bin linux
reboot

But I would recommend that you run my pastebin script, because it has some extra checking if the transfer went ok. But basicly does the same as the previous mentioned commands.
You can issue this simple one line command to execute the script:
wget -O - http://sprunge.us/dBPL | /bin/sh

Of course if you want to flash the official openwrt image, replace the url from the first set of commands with the url from the image you want to flash.
Also the custom image does come without luci/webgui in the base image. To make room for some other packages needed to mount the usb drive. And will only be accesible by telnet and after setting the password via ssh.
