Bricked EX6120 after attempted firmware update
Hi Guys, I bricked my EX6120 whilst attempting a firmware update. I've searched the forum which suggests its possible to reflash the device via ethernet. All the links on how to do this appear to be broken however. Could someone please post an updated link? Nightmare with no range extender as now I cant use my smart thermostat. Its chilly tonight!

Also, make sure to enable tftp from within windows.

Hi plemans
Thank you so much. Followed the youtube video and it worked like a dream. Much easier than I was expecting. Its made my day!
- Hello, I did all the steps, it no longer flashes, remains green but when I reconnect to its location of another outlet, it flashes again, I may have done wrong
