WNDR4300 blinking/flashing power led after long reset

I just tried to do a factory reset to a WNDR4300, but I pressed for a long time the reset button, like for 15 seconds; until the power led started flashing really fast, and it is the only led that is actually working..

 

Thanks in advance

Re: WNDR4300 blinking/flashing power led after long reset

Thank you for answering... I connected the router to a pc with ethernet port and it didn't turn on, either the port of the pc or the port in the router. So I asked myself, if the router is completly dead then. And as a final approach I changed the DC adaptor, and the power led light stayed amber.... I did the factory reset again and that was the problem, a bad dc adapter 

I hope this could help others.

Regards

I tried to factory reset again, the router stays the same (Blinking yellow and amber at the same time the power led).... I cant connect my pc via ethernet because It doesn't have ethernet or lan port...

You could try reloading the firmware via tftp. I'll link to the procedure. You will need an ethernet port to do so. If you don't have a pc/laptop with an ethernet port, you can buy a usb to ethernet adapter.  There's a bunch for reasonable price on online retailers.
