Hi guys, I'm new here and to DD-WRT. Recently, I flashed DD-WRT onto my R7000 router. I selected the 'dd-wrt.K3_R7000.chk' file on that list.

All was working fine until this morning when my power went out for about 5 seconds. Of course my router is plugged in and of course lost power also. I expected it to boot back up and work as normal but that was not the case.

It boots up, cycles through lights but then the power light stays amber and it doesn't broadcast any WiFi connections (which I wouldn't expect since it isn't showing full on power.) It also semi lights up the 2.4 indicator. When I plug my laptop directly into the router via an Ethernet connection, I do get a legit IP address but no actual connection. The router lights up amber on the Ethernet port I am connected into also. After a while, my IP address is dropped in place of a self assigned one.

I've restarted my modem to rule that out, I've powered the router down via button and unplugging and that didn't work. I've even held down the reset button on the router but that didn't help either. I am not sure what else I should do. Did I flash the wrong firmware? I'm looking into tftp flashing options and will try on my lunch break, but I wanted to post here before so that hopefully I have more insight when I go to attempt to get it all up again.

Router: Netgear R7000

Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r30700M (09/27/16) (Kong built)

Kernel: Linux DD-WRT 4.4.22 #128 SMP Tue Sep 27 22:44:00 CEST

Status: Not working

Reset: 30x30x30 attempted Errors: No connections, Power lights stays amber.

Thanks in advance guys,
