    Try the dd-wrt forum, they deal with this on a regular basis. Are you sure it bricked or just died, there is a difference. Most routers have a procedure for loading the firmware when new, this is what your looking for.

    Yes try the dd-wrt forum aswell. How did you brick it?

    If unbricking your router is like Linksys, all you need is a Ethernet cable and a command prompt.
