I am using Buffalo WLAR-L11-L (802.11b, 4-port hub, NAT box) that was running firmware 1.01 happily. I tried upgrading to firmware 1.31 to get PPTP passthrough capability. After this, I tried setting a WEP key. The box tried to restart, and now gives the two-flash red DIAG light indicating a flash ROM error, which persists after the power-off-on restart. Is there any way to resolve Buffalo Wireless Router flash problem?

To resolve Buffalo router flash ROM problem, reset your router to factory defaults.
Step 1- Press and hold the reset button at the back of the Buffalo router for 30 seconds.
Step 2- Disconnect the power from the router while continuing to hold down the reset button.
Step 3- After few moments, reconnect the power.
Step 4- Now hold the Reset button for 30 seconds.
Step 5- After 30 seconds, release the Reset button and wait approximately 1 minutes for the router to re-initialize itself.
By performing above steps, your Buffalo router will reset to its factory default state, which is sometimes needed to get it to boot properly after a flash. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to look into one of the more advanced recovery procedures.
Also, update your Buffalo router firmware on a regular basis. Bookmark the page where your router has updates posted and check it every so often for new versions of the firmware.
