RE: Need help, 2621 router showing special characters

Hey all,

I am like dang near 25% certain that there used to be a stupid router trick
for this, but was unable to make it work the last time that I tried it.
What I either did once or dreamed I did once was to hold down the space bar
during a reboot of the router. The console line picked up on the speed at
which the spaces were being issued and automatically adjusted to the speed
of my serial port.

Did this ever exist? I'm thinking I did/dreamed this circa 2002...

Regards,

Scott

Try connecting with 115200 baud rate on the hyperterminal window. If this
does not help try all speeds from 1200 to 115200.
