R6400v2 won't connect or reset

I tried to update my router with the app on my phone and it failed to complete and the router disconnected. The power light is flashing. I powered off and back on a couple of times and pressed the reset and held for 30 seconds but nothing happened. The app and all computers say it is disconnected.

Re: R6400v2 won't connect or reset

up dating via the app isn't a great choice. The best way to update is over a hardwired connection. 

From the sound of it, you/the app interupted it during the update and probably corrupted the firmware. 

You potentially can fix it by using tftp.

just make sure you enable it in windows.

and here's a walk through video of someone doing it on an extender. works the same on the router.
