Hi All, need your help to recover my TP-Link Archer C7 wireless router back to normal.

 

I recently uploaded open source firmware OpenWRT and the firmware is not so interesting hence I decided to restore the Stock image, but while the upload in progress there was a power interruption to the device and it is bricked, when I turned on the router only the power led is glowing constantly and no other lights.

 

I tried the tftp method by assigning 192.168.0.66 ip address to the computer and press and hold the reset button and turn on the power to the device, but when I hold the reset button the WPS light comes in and goes of after few seconds, and there is no activity on the tftp servers or router.

 

Please help to restore my device, thank you
