Model: Archer VR1210v  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

This morning I woke up and I discovered that my home network wasn't working so I checked at the modem and I saw that all the LEDs were off, except for the power one that was continuously blinking.

I tried to wait different minutes and to restart the modem (even unplugging it from the socket for a while), but it remains stuck in this status.

Reading online I see that the problem could be related to a firmware corruption, so the devices goes in "recovery mode" instead of booting.

How could I solve this problem?

Hi @Joseph-TP, I bought the device on Amazon: it wasn't provided by an ISP (the software is the official from TP-link, and i recived the device in a official box from TP-link without any ISP brand on it, indeed in the configuration I can choose between differents ISPs).
