C3150 Frozen and not hard resetting

Model: Archer C3150  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I had a power outage at my home, and when the power was restored my Archer C3150 has not come back to working order.

 

The LEDs on the unit are Power (solid white), Internet (solid red) and WPS (solid white). There are no cables connected, apart from the power)

 

I've tried holding down the 'Reset' button to do a hard factory reset, however even this is not working.

 

Can anyone offer some help, or is it time to buy a new router?

Thanks for reaching out to us. 

Please follow this article to troubleshoot if there is no internet when connecting the C6 to the ISP modem:

BTW, who is your ISP? Be sure you have internet access when connecting a computer directly to the modem first.

@Kevin_Z there is no problem with my internet connection or modem.

 

This is a hardware problem. The router is not turning on properly.

 

My ISP is Aussie Broadband and everything works fine with a different router. I want to know if/how to fix the router
