Model: Archer C9  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

This morning when I woke up our WiFi had stopped working. The WiFi was showing up and when I tried to connect it said ”incorrect password”. We tried rebooting and when we did that it stopped working completely. A couple lights would light up and then nothing. It doesn’t show up in the WiFi list. Is my router deceased/bricked?

Hi,

 

Do you still use the original power adapter? Was there any power cut or bad weather or firmware upgrading before it behaves abnormally? 

 

Try to hard reset it by holding the reset button or hole for 10s.

 

Are you able to access its web UI from a browser? What is the hardware and firmware version?

 

When and where did you buy this also? If nothing can make it power on correctly, you may need to contact the local tech support to check the warranty cause the device seems faulty:
