Anything I can do????

I accidently installed Tomato regular instead of Tomato ND. ND is the version for the WL520GU. Now all the lights work and it looks like it is working, but I cannot connect to it.

I've tried to restore the firmware, putting into recovery mode with the blinking light, then manually setting my PC to 192.168.1.10 and 255.255.255.0 connected to LAN1 to my PC... and it didn't work. It said Searching IP addresses forever.

I don't know what to do now. I read up on things for the 9 pin trick but they're not for the 520GU. Not sure if I should try it.

Please help me

I told them it stopped working after updating the firmware. I didn't specify which firmware (there was actually a newer version available from ASUS but I didn't try it).
