Bricked RBR20

[pkeisar]

Hi all, my RBR20 is bricked after a firmware update. There is no WiFi network available, local ethernet and internet ports are down (no link) and it does not respond to Reset (long press, long press with/before/after power up/down - all possible options).

It stays in same state - blinking white circle and green power led.

I need your experience and magic... It is just a month after warranty expiration 😞

Thanks in advance

Have you tried using tftp to recover it?

here's a thread that had great success using it with some tips/tricks for doing so.

As I said - both ports are down, so I cannot connect to LAN for tftp...

Possible the RBS just needs replacing.
