I tried to go back to the original firmware of TP LINK and broke the system. I now have the flashing lights only, and can not access the router more. I tried safe mode, but could not succeed. I turn on the router and press the QSS button however does not go into safe mode. I do not know what else to do. and the lights still flashing. My router is TP LINK TL WR740N V4. I need help.

is there any way to do a hard reset it works in this model of router. in this model QSS button is located on the rear of the machine. someone?

Try the debricking steps on that page.

If you can't get that to work you will have to recover via serial.

Also - this can be much harder on Windows Vista / 7 machines.

Try to do the recovery on an XP machine if at all possible.

Do you have a solution for your bricked tp-link router and what is it ? I have a same problem.. Please share your permission!
