Right on the money. I've reflashed dozens of routers dozens of times and I've only messed up twice, and both times was able to recover and TFTP the original firmware back on before trying again. It's not terribly difficult to do correctly, especially if you're smart and do it via ethernet rather than wirelessly which isn't recommended.

I've been keeping an eye on qas's posts and I have to say, I've learnt a lot. Him, Seph and a handful of other regular posters know what they're on about.

More waffle and warping of the truth, par for the course. How can you be trusted when you're regularly shown to be wrong and resort to giant smileys to try and get your belated points across? Also, how do you know what's different in the new superhub right down to the small details - you're first line support, right? Pretty sure frontline fodder troops don't hear every single order the General gets, so to speak.

Nope, you can TFTP the stock firmware on at boot time if you get the timing just right... there's a tiny window of opportunity to do so. This can help you recover from a bad flash too (bricking a WGR614v9 is something I've done and fixed).

You're the one trying to do the oneupmanship game, clearly. You pull the same trick on everyone who shows you up, it's tiresome and predictable. You don't HAVE to be employed by VM to know how their network and CPEs etc work, you just THINK people do because your technical knowledge is far below where you think it is. Refusing to back down is just digging a deeper hole, and the longer you keep going the more people are going to dogpile on you like this, to the point where you'll probably say several things you can't take back and get permanently banned.

He could do that, but then more people would take your ignorant, inaccurate advice as gospel.

Hey, I've been wrong when debating with qas before (especially over the DIR-615) but I've also been smart enough to concede and say "you know what, it's good I was wrong because I learnt something". People who go around thinking they're always right even when proved wrong multiple times by several different people learn precisely one thing: how to lose friends and alienate people, not to mention ticking them off.
