Model: TL-WR940N  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version: Not Clear

I've been using this router now for nearly 2 years and never had a problem.

But after returning from my holidays and switching it on again, it's defnitely not working properly:

The only thing that happens is that the blue circle in the middle of the display flashes rapidly.

No WIFI connection and also no Ethernet connection possible - even with static IP addresses.

 

It's previously been used as an access point / switch in my house. I've also already tried using the TFTP Method 

from this video but without any success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW5fpOWpI0I

In fact, the recovery option doesn't seem to work. There's no change on the display and also no messages in the "Log Viewer" of the TFTPD Program.

It feels like there is no connection at all or I forgot about something...

 

Hope you can help me!

Try re-seting to factory and reenter your settings.

@ArcherC8 But holding down the reset button doesn't seem to do anything. Even for a very long duration. 

Should I try a 30 30 30 hard reset?

@sbandei Try it as you have nothing to lose as it does sound like it is "Bricked".

@ArcherC8 Same result, still no success. I've now contacted the support. 

Thank you very much anyway!
