r7800 cannot connect
Hello I have bought a r7800 set up and turned on and I can't connect using said WiFi password. Did factory reset still can't connect. And sometimes power led goes solid orange
As above I've tried it. Laptop only and router and it won't load the gui

Before your toss it in the recycle bin, you could try the 30-30-30 reset. It is something you can look up with a browser search.
- Press reset for 30 seconds
- Keep pressing reset while removing power
- Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
Good call. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned before.
It is called "recovery mode" and the R7800 is one of the routers that accepts it.
If it works, the power LED should turn white and blink steadily.
