  • There's videos on youtube you can check out by searching "how to debrick a router" you can download tftp2.exe and use that to try unbricking your router.

    If this is a new router an it behaved like that our of the box, then it is a dud and should go back to whoever sold it to you.

    TFTP is not the simplest of tasks. It might help to follow one f the various videos out there.
