R6350 router problems!!
I really need help! My router won't connect to the internet. I noticed after the firmware update, the power LED light is the only thing that blinks. I've tried resetting it and tried connecting my lap...

sounds like you might have corrupted the firmware during the update. I highly recommend only changing firmware with a hardwired connection and not through the app or wireless.
You can potentially recover it using 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.

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