Model: TD-W8970

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: v1.2

I bought a used tp-link w8970 router and it already using OpenWRT. I bricked it when i was trying to restore the original firmware on it but now the wifi LED is no more showing when i switch it on and there is also no wifi. Only power light turn on but nothing else. When i put LAN cable to LAN1 port nothing change. The wifi also can't be detected. I already try to connect using TFTP 64 and reseting it, but no luck. Here is the picture of my router : https://ibb.co/30gWyqz

Thank you

@Ariflorina

Good day,

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Sorry for the delay.

Have you tried to factory reset the TD-W8970 before to see if that helped?

If not, I am afraid that there is no more suggestions.

Since you just bought it, you could try to contact the shop retailers to get it replaced first.

Thanks a lot.

Hi @Sunshine, thank you for your reply. I already tried reseting several times. No luck. Nothing change, and no respond.

Thank you
