NIghthawk Extender - Blinking Red Power Light

Question

I unplugged my router as I wanted to change its location.

Now when I plug it in the rear power light turns from Green to Red(Blinking)

And all the front White lights are blinking.

Tried the reset button, but nothing.

HELP PLEASE!

I notified a moderator to move it. in the meantime,&nbsp;
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.&nbsp;&nbsp;
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

&nbsp;
just make sure you enable tftp&nbsp;
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
&nbsp;
and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.&nbsp;

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
