R7450 BOOT PROBLEM
hi so when i turn my router on it lights up the wifi button white for a couple of sec then goes off and power light stays amber any help would be awesome thanks
so only the power light is on?
Have you tried a factory reset? Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on?
You can try recovering it with 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 using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

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