r8000 update firmware via usb

my power light stays on and is solid amber.  I can't access the router via pc/web interface.  Can i somehow update the firmware via the USB ports on the back of the router to try resurrecting it?  If so, how can that be done?

 

thanks.

No. 

 

Can try this:

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW. 


Or try this if TFTP doesn't work:
