AX72 / AX5400 bricked?
Hi Guys,
Feel like this will need to be sorted under warranty but thought I'd ask here first.
Back in July I purchased two AX72s from Amazon, they both had been working flawlessly until a couple of days ago (aside from one of them eventually not listing wireless clients, which seems to be fairly common on Archers).
One seems to have bricked itself - basically, it won't boot normally - it seems to boot-loop for a while and then stops, ethernet does turn on briefly at points, wireless radio doesn't appear to turn on.
Notes:
- I wasn't logged in / updating firmware etc. at the time the failure occurred, in fact I'm not exactly sure when it failed, just noticed that some smart devices on my network were having trouble getting a good signal (they'd switched over to the other, still functioning AX72)
- Using the original PSU
- I can get the device to reboot into 'recovery' mode (or whatever it's called) by holding down the reset button while powering on
- Recovery mode will allow me to upload a firmware manually, I have tried all 3 available to download with no change in behaviour
- Attempting a hard-reset while powered on in 'normal' or recovery mode doesn't appear to do anything
Any help greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Adrian
