LogicalUnit Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi everyone, I just connected my LAN Turtle for the first time, and was following the instructions in the 101 - First Boot and Software Update video. Everything was going fine: Windows 7 detected and installed the Realtek USB lan adaptor, I was able to ping it on 172.16.84.1 and was able to SSH into it using Putty. I connected it to a wired network with DHCP, and told it to perform a software update. It downloaded the package and closed the SSH connection. . . and that was 40 minutes ago. All I have is a steady green LED, no amber LED to suggest a boot sequence. I'm worried about what to do now, because I don't want to brick my Turtle. At this point, I can't ping it, but there is still a Realtek USB FE family controller device in Device Manager and Network Connections. Any suggestions?

LogicalUnit Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 This might be relevant (I don't know) but my host PC already had a wired ethernet connection when I connected the Turtle. Maybe it's confused about where the internet is coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalUnit Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Okay, I yanked the Turtle and reconnected it to USB. Host PC doesn't get an IP and the amber LED stays off. Going to bed, will be back tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalUnit Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Ah ha! I found the unbricking instructions on the LAN Turtle wiki. Worked like a charm: https://lanturtle.com/wiki/#!index.md Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
