I even changed my router to have a 192.168.1.x Ip. takes me to bing everytime.
Back when my Blade was working I sometimes had a failure to reset. Maybe I didn't give it enough time to reset properly. Tough finding a setup description on the V2 blades showing how to reset - probably because the V2.01 revs are pictured as not having a reset header.
I'd try shorting the factory reset pins with the Blade off. Firing it up and watching the green LED flash then stop but leaving it powered for a full minute. Then completely off for a full minute with the ethernet cable unplugged. Then plug the ethernet cable back in, remove the jumper for the factory reset and put in a neutral position, e.g. single pin, then fire up and try accessing 192.168.1.254:8000 again. Give it sufficient time to wake up fully.
