Have you tried resetting it again? Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on?
If that doesn't help, you can try recoverying it.
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

- I connect a laptop to the router.
- Disable wifi from the laptop
- Change the ethernet settings per the guide
- Connect the laptop to LAN1 , LAN2, LAN3, or LAN4 ports
- The laptop reports "media disconnected", and none of the port lights up on the router.
- Connecting the laptop to the WAN port
- The laptop reports "Unidentified network" and the internet light on the router goes orange.
- However, attempting to ping 192.168.1.1 reads destination unreachable
Running the tftp command (using either LAN or WAN ports) gives me "Connect request failed".
However, if I boot cycle the router, the LAN port/s light up when booting up, then the light turns off once its up and running.
