Bricked Router

Symptoms: all the LEDs are ON, and you can't access to UI

Follow these steps:

  • Switch off the router
  • Download a complete binary-image of firmware
  • Rename the downloaded firmware with the following name: archerc9v1_tp_recovery.bin or "archerc9v2_tp_recovery.bin" if you have a v2 router
  • Serve as TFTP server the renamed firmware on the following IP: 192.168.0.66
  • Switch on the router, holding the RESET button for 2-4 seconds
  • The firmware will be automatically downloaded and installed by the router


Symptoms: after the dd-wrt installation the MACs are changed!
