R8000P router keeps restarting and reset impossible

Hello,

I post this message because I'm getting tired of this sh.... of router (R8000P - X6S AC4000). It works very well when it is not disconnected by a power cut for example. It's been restarting constantly for a while now. the reset does not work. I tried 30/30/30 method but no positive result. I'm lost. It is no longer under warranty. I don't know how to reset it. I don't understand why it keeps rebooting. Do you have a solution or have you faced the same problem?

 

Thanks

Fred

    What happens when you try?

     

    Can you use the browser graphical user interface (GUI) to access the router?

      I can think of two possibilities. One, the firmware could have gotten corrupted and you need to reload firmware by trying the tftp method, look on youtube "how to debrick a router" you'll need tftp software for it. Another thing that could be wrong is that the power adapter has gone bad. Let us know what happens.
