Reload Flash Image

Post by Fuzzycub »

Is there a way to reload the Meteobridge flash image onto the P-LINK TL-MR3020 device without using the web interface? I am unable to access the web interface. There is a message about Meteobridge is starting and to click here to start manually but nothing happens. Eventually my browser will time out indicating that the web site is unavailable.

I doubt a new flash will help. These units are astonishing reliable.

Is it stuck in fast flashing mode? Please read here:

Correct. The power button is flashing fast. When I try to use the web interface, a page displays that says "click here to manually start Meteobridge". I never get a logon screen and eventually my browser says the website is unresponsive.

Then your Meteobridge is not provided with a valid IP, DNS and Gateway IP and can't reach out to the internet.
Did it work when you initially connected it to your router via Ethernet?

This diagram explains how to read the blinks and what options you have:

I worked beautifully when I first loaded the Meteobridge image. It was only after I tried to connect to my wireless network that I ran into problems. I was hoping I could reset it back to the image it had out of the box so that I can flash Meteobridge again. Unfortunately there is no way to communicate with the device.

The "one blink" reset will bring you back to initial network status.
Please consult "getting started" section on www.meteobridge.com.

All is well! I restored the unit back to the "five flash" image which allowed me to enter my weather station data again. Thank you for all of your help!
