Removing dd-wrt firmware and restoring to factory condition

Hi, I have a Nighthawk R8000 which I bought with DD-Wrt firmware installed. I would like to remove that firmware and restore to a factory configuration. I might have messed things up. I selected the Factory Restore option, it downloaded some firmware and rebooted. Now, I can't access the router at all. It is attached to a Cable Modem provided by my internet provider and I have found it with an IP but when I try to access it no luck.

Any suggestions?

Hi @Herbert323,

 

If you want to use the official firmware for R8000, you may download it on the link below.

For loading the firmware via TFTP since the router is unaccessible, you may check this article.
