RE305 not working after upgrade
RE305 not working after upgrade
Hello,
as a resolution of the topic https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/175360 I got a custom (I think) firmware made by support engineers by mail, which I uploaded to the repeater and it worked until today.
Today I noticed a new firmware available in application from TP-Link (Tether). When I tried to launch the update, I got the information that downloading failed, so I went to my PC and to repeater's web page. There, I allowed it to update and update went through - or I thought so.
Immediately after the download bar disappeared, I got error message from repeater's web server that it cannot find \ page. Similar to normal HTTP 404 message. Yet, I waited - Power LED was blinking on repeater all the time. As a strange thing I would say that the WiFi from repeater was available all that time.
After two / three hours of wait, all LED's disappeared and Power LED was still blue, no bliking. All network communication went impossible - no networking on the repeater, not even any reaction to the LAN cable connection. RESET button also does not work, regardless of how long I hold it, be it 1 second as manual says or 30 seconds. After plugging it off and on from socket, I get for a second all LEDs shining blue with exception of Status LED (which is red), but after that only Power remains stable blue.
Can I do anything about that or only warranty becomes my only hope here?

Hi,
Thanks for your update.
Did you also have RE305 v3?
Is there any abnormal behavior, like power outage during the firmware update?
By the way, how long have you had the RE305?
Would the factory reset of the RE305 make any difference?
Thank you very much and wait for your reply.
