R7000 1.0.9.x reboot cycle
My R7000 was bricked. After finally figuring out how to configure Terminal on MacOS to let me Ctrl-C the boot process so I could turn tftpd on, I can now reflash the firmware. Every version of the 1....
I spent way too much time on this. :-(
Yes! I ordered a new power adapter. This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWHS8G2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And now the R7000 is working again.
So, if you think your firmware upgrade is causing your constant reboot cycle, it might just be your power supply. OMG.
Downgraded firmware to 1.0.7.12_1.2.5 and it's been running for 5 minutes so far. It's a record. Letting it run now...
Any clues why this is happening R7000 people?
The router reboots when I connect a wifi device with firmware 1.0.7.12. Downgrading to 1.0.7.10. What version should I be using or is there some proceedure I'm missing?
You could be having power supply issues?
I assume you have been doing the FACTORY RESET after each firmware change and re-entering settings manaully, not using a saved configuration? Not doing this can mask the problem and keep it happening.
Sometimes I can do the FACTORY RESET. Sometimes I can't when the unit won't stay up long enough before rebooting on its own.
0) plugged router into different surge protector
1) performed factory reset
2) waited for router to come back up, rebooted router and hit Ctrl-C in minicom window
3) started tftpd on router
4) sent R7000-V1.0.9.64_10.2.64.chk to router
5) router is rebooting continually (update it's hung)
