@Liverpool20  It doesn't matter what you believe, nor do I owe anyone an explanation why.  Because I want to and that's all that matters.  It's really strange that TP-Link no longer shares the mechanism to do an emergency recovery to flash on their wifi 6 routers.  They are actually legally required to allow this as a result of a lawsuit and settlement requiring them to allow flashing of open source firmware.  Anyway, like I said, it's my hardware and I have the right to do with it as I please without question.

  @Liverpool20 No.  I shouldn't have to provide them with any of that information.  They should provide the instructions I asked for.  it's as simple as that.
