Power light blinking red

Tried to update my router, and it gave me an error part way thru. Now the internet is down and I believe it needs to finish the download still to work but with no network, how do I do that? Power is flashing amber

Re: Power light blinking red

sounds like you might have corrupted your firmware. You can try tftp/nmrpflash to recover it. 

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
