Nighthawk X6 AC3200 amber lights, cant reset or reboot
Hello,
My router has suddenly stopped working and after troubleshooting I cannot turn the wifi back on. I have posted a 10 second clip to show the lights that are activating. The router does not change after rebooting and I have held the reset button for 30 seconds and it does not respond to that. I manually try to connect my computer with the ethernet cable and has no effect with any computer troubleshooting or manual diagnostics that the computer has available. Of course the nighthawk app that used to work does not detect my router and says it is offline as well. I hope I have given enough information please let me know if there is anything I can do. Thank you

you could try tftp or nmrpflash to fix it. might not work but worth a shot.
