I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a Windows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.

Router had a firmware update and was tracking progress on the app.  Upgrade process never finished and router was rebooted.  It is now not functional.  The power LED is just on solid, but none of the Ethernet ports have link lights, WiFi indicators off, etc.  I tried to connect directly to my PC via Ethernet cable and do not get any response.  Any way to recover? Reading through multiple posts, normally power LED flashing or amber if firmware was corrupted.  Afraid it is just toast.
