AP WAC124 doesn't work after upgrade!
Hello,
I updated my WAC124 AP from WAC124-V1.0.4.4 to WAC124-V1.0.4.9 via webgui, but it stuck without completing the update. So I tried an older firmware version, WAC124-V1.0.4.6, downloaded from the official website.
After updating, the AP stopped working. When I turn on the AP, the LED stays solid and no other LEDs light up.
The reset button doesn't seem to work; after holding it down for more than 10 seconds, nothing changes (with the AP on).
If I press the reset button with the AP off and then restart it, I see that the power and USB LEDs light up alternately and stay that way forever.
What can I do to fix this?
Thank you!

The always-on LED indicates the WAC124 can't boot. So time for a recovery, eg. using tftp.
Hi Schumaku,
I can't connect to the AP. The interface LEDs on the AP are always off, how can i connect via tftp?
I tried whit ip 192.168.0.100, default IP written on the AP, and with 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.100Hey
Have run the tftp upload exactly as shown on https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-a-TFTP-client-on-Microsoft-Windows
I need a hard reset.
