Model: M7000  
Hardware Version: V8
Firmware Version: Idk

Okay so I don't know exactly how to explain this but my m7000 just doesn't work, i cannot seem to connect it normally as wifi so I got around that through cable and now that doesn't work too, the wifi is set on hidden and I can't even connect to it anymore tho it does show up I just can't connect to it. 

Tried factory resets multiple times

Hi, welcome to the community.

 

If you can't connect to the M7000's Wi-Fi after factory resetting it, please confirm the following information:
  1. What's the LED status on the M7000?
  2. Does the M7000 broadcast the default SSID: TP-Link_XXXX?
  3. Have you tried to connect the M7000's Wi-Fi on different client devices? Are they unable to connect to the M7000's Wi-Fi?

 

Best Regards

I tried connecting it to different devices, after factory reset lights didn't change.

And I tried connecting to the default router name but it didn't work.

It didn't even show up

Hi, 
You may not have successfully reset the M7000 if you can't see the default SSID after factory resetting it. Please refer to the instructions below to perform a factory reset on the M7000 again. If the same phenomenon persists, please contact your retailer or the technical support team to check whether your device is under warranty.

  @Catloafsilly If factory resets aren't working, the router's firmware might be stuck broadcasting a ghost hidden network, or your PC/phone has cached the old IP lease. Try forgetting the network on your device, or connect via USB and force change the SSID to 'Visible' inside the DHCP settings.

Also, Once you get back into the panel, test your data flow by searching for Tikvidly on Google and checking if the site loads properly to confirm your gateway is routing traffic.
