EX6120 bricked but the power light is solid green after a bootup sequennce

'm now This item is bricked. no wifi signal. no DHCP. no response to anything.

Ive reset the device several times but it just boots back to a orange solid light, then orange/green blinking, then it will go solid green.

 

This issue happened after a firmware update that failed. I have tried all the tftp solutions about connection with an Ethernet to the ip address of 192.168.1.1 while the network port on my computer is set to 192.168.1.10. The tftp (command line) and tftp2.exe both fail to connect. What are some other things to try?

A solid green light isn't indicating its bricked. A amber/red light would be. 

 

the ex6120 has a ethernet port. Try factory resetting it and seeing if you can hardwire a pc/laptop into it and go through setup.

By gum, it worked.

I only tried the tfpt route. I was able get control of it again after http-ing into the Ethernet port (192.168.1.1)

 

Thanks
