AC1750: Could not connect to the router after firmware update
I did a firmware update last night then beginning that time I am unable to connect to my router. I tried connecting to it over LAN but it still didn't work. When I did a ping to 198.162.1.1 it says "...
When you reset, did you push and hold while powered on for 7-15 seconds?
What are the led's on it doing? (all of them, color/solid/blinking)
have you tried using tftp to recover it?

make sure to enable tftp if you do try it.

I tried resetting it while powered on, I holded the button for more than 15 seconds. Currently the power light keeps blinking and all others are not on at all. I am currently using a Macbook to connect over the LAN. I was able to connect to the router on LAN before this issue.
Then you'll wan to try the tftp procedure.
this would also be the forum for your device

- Thank you, I will try that.
I got a windows machine and tried tftp to upload the firmware. I first tried this Version-1-0-4-84 it did not work so tried an older Version-1-0-3-66 . Both didn't work, my power LED still keeps blinking.
did you have tftp enabled within windows?

Or make sure to run the command prompt in admin mode?
where did it fail?
Did you follow the procedure precisely? There's many spots for error
