AC 1200 R6120 not working anymore after update
I had new update on my wifi router. I started it and suddenly my phone said that i can’t do it. And now I can’t use my wifi. There is flashing green light on power. What I have to do?

Sounds like you might have corrupted the firmware. we always recommend on here to update over a hardwired connection for best results.
Did you try factory resetting? Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
If that doesn't help, you can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

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.
