R7000 died?
R7000 working fine for years. This morning all LAN LEDs are dark and Ethernet devices can't reach anywhere. Wireless devices say they can connect to the router but the router has no internet connecti...
If you can get a new power adapter, try that first.
If after the power adapter doesn't resolve this, try a 30-30-30 reset on the router. Might kick it out of it's bad state. If that or TFTP even fails, then the router just may be bad and needs replacing.
30-30-30 reset doesn't work on ARM-based routers. Only MIPS ones.
tftp just says "Network is unreachable". There is no Ethernet-level connection being made.
Tried 30/30/30, as expected no change.
I could check ebay for a power adapter but since this unit has served just shy of 8 years it may be time to move on. (though the backup is even older, a WRT54G running Tomato ... well, more "limping" than running, but online)
Worth trying.
Might find a old referb or used R7000 on fleabay or amazon if you want to keep a R7000. If not, ya, maybe time to upgrade to something newer. It's probably given a good life.
