Got get the tftp program at ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/tftp.exe You can
use it to flash a different firmware (original or otherwise). Have you
tried to reset the router (push the reset button in back with a paperclip or
I use the point of a mechanical pencil)? Which version of the WRT54G do you
have? I've had good luck with the firmware available at
http://www.dd-wrt.com I recently flashed my v5 WRT54G and was able to use
the device as a wireless bridge - something the stock Linksys firmware would
not allow.

Yes, I have used the tftp and held the reset for a minute or two. It will not reset to the original or anything.

OK. I assume you're connected directly to the device via RJ45 and that you
have your computer set to an IP in the same subnet (eg 192.168.1.x). Power
down the device and be ready with the TFTP program. Power up the device and
immediately attempt to TFTP the firmware.
