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, it seems that the device has been bricked by the firmware update, you could try following this guide to see if it can be recovered:

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.
