Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-ER5120

Hardware Version : V2

ISP :

I was logged into the router and cleared the statistics when it seemed as if the router crashed. Now the system light does not come on, only the power light and lights for the ports come on. Is there anything I can do? I tried resetting the router by pushing in the reset button for a couple of seconds but that doesn't do anything.

Hi, giovannidc

Press and hold the Reset button more than 5 seconds.

See TP-Link TL-ER5120 User Guide -> Reset button:

I dont think the reset function works.. Been holding for up to 30sec and no system light flashing. I dont think the button is broken though because if I hold the reset button while powering up, it seems to freezes the boot process. There might be an issue with the boot loader or maybe the firmware got corrupted when the router crashed. Is there a way to check the bootloader?
