Good choice.

Since Vigor2820 and Vigor2830 use different hardware, you can´t use the same .cfg files between them.

It's not usual to "brick" like that when attemping to upgrade firmware.

Even if that happens, Vigor Router should ALWAYS be able to enter in Upgrade Mode (following EXACTLY the previous process) , in order to force a firmware upgrade.

I suggest to send it to RMA.

Ok,

Can you leave a MS-DOS command prompt with a "ping 192.168.1.1 -t" while you do this process ? (don´t forget to use a fixed IP on your PC (Ex: 192.168.1.10)).

Check if you get a ping reply while that 1st column lights.

About the audible click, it´s normal on Vigor VoIP models, since it´s the PSTN relay internal switch initializing.

I have exactly the same router and the same problem. It bricked after the update which was apparently succesful, and it won't go into upgrade mode, it is just dead and you can't even get any LAN lights on.

Seems this router has some major problems to me, first it bricks and then you can't recover it.

I would expect an issue like this to be fixed out of warranty since it is caused by the new firmware.
