Hi Guys, I bricked my EX6120 whilst attempting a firmware update. I've searched the forum which suggests its possible to reflash the device via ethernet. All the links on how to do this appear to be broken however. Could someone please post an updated link? Nightmare with no range extender as now I cant use my smart thermostat. Its chilly tonight!

Also, make sure to enable tftp from within windows.

When the light is solid, are you able to go through setup using the installation assistant?
