AC1200 won’t turn on but has power

I’ve had this router for a long time with little issue. It could connect to the internet as recent as yesterday. Today, it was on but not connected to the internet - all the lights were on and green. So I powered off, waited, then powered on. When I turned it back on, all lights lit up for a second then turned off. I tried a couple more times with the same result.

I then tried resetting using the pin-hole and following directions online. It didn’t work and still have the same result when turning on - all lights on for a split second, then all turn off/no blinking.

What do you think the issue is?

  • Try a different power adapter, maybe the firmware has been corrupted. See if you can log into it with a laptop to see if you can get into the settings. Let us know what you try to help troubleshoot it. By the way what model is it? AC1200 is just a speed of routers.
