Did I brick my router?

Model: TL-WR3002X  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I was connected to my TP-Link AX3000 WiFi 6 portable router and it prompted me for a firmware update.  I waited until it was complete and everything seemed fine. But the next time I plugged in the device, I get a blue/red/blue/red flash and then solid red on the device. I cannot see the SSID if I scan for it. Therefore, I can't connect to it.  I've held the reset button down for 10 seconds, but the device does not reset.

 

Any ideas how to recover from this state?

TL-WR3002X has a LAN port to which you can connect with an ethernet cable and check if you can access its WebGUI.
Upon successful reset the the default IP address is 192.168.0.1.
