TP-Link Archer C7 V2 Will not reset / bricked after firmware update
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : Archer C7
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : Newest
ISP : Plus.net
I've enjoyed using my Archer C7 AC1750 V2 with the factory firmware for a while now and when I saw the update that fixes the USB authentication issues I had to install it. That was the worst mistake ever. After installing the update all seemed to be working perfectly so I went to the configs and set all my custom settings up etc.. and then clicked reboot to apply them. It never worked after that.
All it does is broadcast a wireless signal on the 2.4GHz & 5GHz band (my custom SSIDs) and run a DCHP server. 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.0.1 are not accessible though 192.168.1.1 is ping-able.
I have tried a 30/30/30, 10 seconds, 20, 30, 60 etc.. and there is no response. I can get it to boot to recovery (holding the reset switch while booting -Keeps the WPS light on), but I can't get TFTP or Telnet working to flash any firmware or attempt to reset the settings.
Does anyone know how to access this router in recovery mode? Or get into it to flash firmware when you can't access the GUI.
More information:
Before I rebooted it I set MAC Address limits on who can access the router, I also set up USB storage authentication with 2 accounts (One read only and one full admin) as well as DHCP reservations (which are still working)
Thank you for any help you can provide and for reading this.
