R6700v2 firmware update brick my router

So I logged into the admin page where you manage the wireless router. I seen that I had an alert to update my router firmware. So I accepted the update let everything run. When I go back and check up on it the power light is like a orange color and it isn't broadcasting the wifi signal either 2.4g or 5g. I tried to do reset and it won't do it I hold it down for couple of seconds and it don't reboot. Can someone please help me.

   Solid?  Flashing?

   Wired connection?

 

   You may be a candidate for the TFTP recovery scheme.  See, for

But you will need a computer with a wired (Ethernet) connection to make
that work.
