RBR40 - Bricked? Won't Factory Reset?
So everything was fine and just thought I would reboot my system because I hadn't done it in a while. Oops..That was a mistake. My main route seems to be bricked. I can't find the SIDD and the power light stays green no matter what I hold down for however long. I tried all kinds of reset procedures and nothing. I've done the 30-30-30...I've tried to Ping it with not success. Nothing. I'm very frustrated given how expensive these things are. Any thoughts? It's the RBR40 router. TIA.

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
If this fails then your RBR is bad and needs to be replaced.
Good Luck.

Tried all this. Nothing. This is insane. "Let's send out a firmware udpate that bricks routers so they have to buy new ones." I know they didn't do this on purpose but damn if this doesn't grind my gears.
