Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version:

I found today my wifi from tp link archer a7 was not available to connect. To my surprise, the router only has the power light on. 

 

I restarted the router multiple times. I am unable to do a factory reset (it seems that the router doesn't react to the 5-10 seg pressing the reset button).

 

The firmware is the original one,

 

How can I fix it?

  @Kevin_Z 

  1. Purchased in March 2021 (TP-Link shop on Amazon UK)
  2. No abnormal behaviour prior to having the problem.  Just noticed that all my devices were not connected to the WiFi the next day.
  3. I didn't upload any firmware to it, therefore it is not a "you bricked it" problem. Unfortunately, that tutorial is for Windows only. Is there any documentation on how to do it using a Mac?
  4. Thanks for the pointer.

For anyone that reads this thread in the future:

I reach out to the tp-link live chat support and after doing their troubleshooting process, it was decided to give me a replacement since the device is still under the 2 years warranty.
