R6120 Firmware Update
How do I update my firmware without wireless internet? My firmware was updating when my router lost power. Now I can't access the interent to complete the firmware installation and the power light is continuously blinking. Can I hook my router up to my laptop that's connected to another network and do it that way? Thanks for any help!

Please visit and post about this here for your model router:

Good Luck.
