R6220 malfunctioning after firmware upgrade (1.1.0.112)
Last night I saw a notification on Nighthawk app that a new firmware (1.1.0.112) was available for my R6220. When I saw this notification, the current firmware version on my router was 1.1.0.110. After I applied it from the app, the Router is not connecting to internet. The USB LED is glowing, although I have not connected anything there. The Power Indicator LED turns on for a few seconds on boot-up and goes off. The internet LED is not coming up. When I connect anything to my LAN ports, the corresponding LEDs light up. Any suggestions on what could be done?

whenever theres an issues after a firmware update, one of the first things I'd recommend would be a factory reset.
Have you tried this?
to reset, push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
The reset button doesn't seem to be working. I tried the 30-30-30 technique as well. Even that didn't seem to work.

You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.
