R700 Nighthawk Won't factory reset, Won't boot with flashing lights

Just today I found that there is no wifi. So checked this device, LEDs are in red. I tried Tried to restart/reset device, I tried to connect the router and computer via cable, but didnt boot.

 

Any idea how to fix it? the router is practically new, only 4 months of use for 2 computers, two televisions and 4 cell phones.

Hi @nylost, can you record a video on the router? starting from pushing the power button to turn it on.

Let me look at the video first. Then I may ask our support team to reach out to you for replacement. Thanks.

Re: RS700 suddenly dead/brick

Thank you very much. Here I show the problem. https://youtu.be/nQq1lp1fBUA would be great if you could give me a replacement, I made the investment thinking in years of use and still not reached 90 days I think.
