I have attempted to flash a new TP-Link Archer A7 using the factory-to-ddwrt bin file which can be found here: https://ftp.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2023/01-06-2023-r51184/tplink_archer-a7-v5/

After pressing "start", the power light indicator started following, which apparently is normal. After some time, the stock firmware web GUI lost connection and all lights turned on, except that both WiFi signal lights started flashing. Pinging 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 returns that there is no host listening.

What can I do to fix this installation attempt?

Thanks in advance.

Have you simply tried to power off and after 10 seconds power on again?

As always, turning it off and on again saved the day. I did not want to interrupt the flashing process, so I turned for help instead of simply rebooting.

Many thanks!
