Rbr 50 keeps flashing white
After a short poweroutage the router started to blink white.
Power led is green
I tried factory reset, but nothing helps.
Now, when trying to reset there is no reaction at all anymore
Do i need to do some hard reset?
Firmware was all up to date

power surges and storms are great at wrecking electronics.
1. when you reset, did you push and hold for 7-15 seconds while powered on?
2. are you able to access it if you're hardwired into the extender?
if somethings corrupt, you can try recoving 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.

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