Archer C7 V2 Did Not Boot After Scheduled Reboot

Post by SuperLid »

I do a nightly reboot at 3AM. Last night, the router did not boot after the reboot. It now shows LED's for power, flashing system and ethernet. No radio, can't ping it and when I turn the radio switch from on to off, it reboots. Reset doesn't seem to change anything.

I am able to get it to go into failsafe, but unable to get a recovery to flash with TFTP. I have not worked on this in almost 6 years, so I am going to need to relearn how to deal with this.

Running 1.11.0 as a client bridge.

Open to ideas...

Thanks

If you are successfully booted into failsafe, you could either factory reset the router (using "firstboot -y" command) or you can transfer the upgrade file into RAM using SCP (WinSCP on Windows) and initiate a "sysupgrade" from there.

TFTP would only be running if you were using some kind of factory failsafe mechanism or a preboot failsafe.
