After Upgrade R8000 X6 died
After upgrade R8000 X6 died, what happened:
1.- Tried to upgrade last night X6 to the lastest firmware
2.- Router lost WiFi / Internet
3.- DHCP also died, if I use an static IP 192.168.1.x I an ping the default IP 192.168.1.1
4.- Admin page not available
5.- All lights on the router are off , just power light is blinking
What I have tried (since Wifi is not working I do have my mac connected ETH Port 1
1.- Reset the router using the restet on the back 5/10 seconds, ETH port 1 (goes from white to orange) No Joy
2.- Turn off Router , turn on Router with the reset on the back pushed, All lights illuminate / In secuence
if you keep the reset pushed it will do this multiple times / after releasing the reset , just the power light will blink (white)
and ETH 1 Port 1 (white) can ping 192.168.1.1 No Acess to the admin web page.
Not sure what else I can try any comments will be much appreciated

- Downloaded the latest firmware, Did tftp 192.168.1.1 activated verbose mode / bin / put new firmware file takes around 40 seconds. To transfer the file. Be patient after a couple of minutes the router rebooted and voila. Unfortunately I called support and activated a one year contract before being able to read the post :-)
