This week I bought one MR3020 and flashed it with the technobit firmware (openwrt). Everything worked fine until the switch of the lan interface to dhcp.

The MR3020 started, but no connection was possible. Trying to switch the MR3020 into failsafe mode failed - neither by pressing the WPS button or by change the position of the sidemounted switch. So I bought a CP2102 and followed this guide (no additional resistor was needed).
Afterwards the MR3020 worked again, but this morning the usb psu was defect and I had to use one of my phone usb charges. In the end, I am starting to hate the MR3020. Cheesy

Actually, if you had another router, you can check the DHCP client list or statistic to find the ip address.

For the power supply, i use 5V from same PSU that powered the miner  Grin
Looked into other router and also configured dhcp server on my linux machine. The MR3020 did not want to connect to anything. Even nmap could not find it. Sad
Alas, as the serial console worked, the problem was obvious. It was configured to use a static ip, but no ip was provided. Hence, I totally bricked it. Smiley
