    I appreciate you guys helping me fix this issue. Turns out it is a lot more complex than I thought to fix the router. That doesn't sound good. What do you think went wrong with the router? I messed up on changing the Hex code? Firmware flashing issue? -TFTP I would assume does the same thing...
