Model: RE305

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version:

back story:

installed OpenWrt

that went fine but I didn't like it

tried to use OpenWrt 's LuCI to install TP-Link's *.bin firmware file.

Now the RE305 is bricked.

All four LEDs blinking every second.

Is there any way I can fix my mistake?

I tried connecting to the RE305 with an Ethernet cable to use TFTP, but Windows 10 doesn't even see that a device is connected.

Hi, Have you tried factory reset? and please also try to change to another power socket.

The range extender does not support TFTP firmware recovery.

Best regards.
