TP-Link TL-WR741ND Flashes constantly after firmware upgrade

Model: TL-WR741ND

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version: 4

After updating my TL-WR741ND router, it kept flashing constantly and the message on the screen only said wait for the router to restart. A few hours passed and he didn't react. Unfortunately it was disconnected from the power and when I reconnected it the behavior is the same and I cannot access it in any way. Is there any way to access it through some software or button combination, to enter ssh or telnet? I performed the procedure from a Windows 10 PC connected by cable directly to the router

Hi @sunshine I have tried to do the steps you mention but the model is not completely accurate and I don't know if this is the reason why it doesn't work for me. I have tried to download tftpd but when I connect my PC to a manual IP, I see that the network interface remains as not connected, it tries to connect and the cable disconnected message appears again. I imagine it's because the router never stops flashing and I can't connect to it. I don't know if for my model, TL-WR741ND, there is a combination of buttons to press since it only has the buttons: reset, power and QSS.
