R8000 won't stop restarting

[The1inthemiddle]

The router is constantly restarting, gets up and running then crashes. I haven't updated the firmware since the purchase. Tried to reset the router but it will not reset back to factory settings or new from box settings. Can't even login to the admin when using a wired connection without the Internet hooked up. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Try a very long reset by pressing in the reset button on the back of the router for about 30 seconds until the power light turns orange and starts to blink three times in a row.  This repeated reset recycling may work for you.

Thank you that worked but the 30/30/30 did not which is odd. None the less it's working again.
