AX6000 Stuck in Reboot Loop
While I was out, I noticed that I was unable to reach smart devices via my mobile device. When I got home to reboot my modem and router, I noticed my Archer AX6000 has the status light cycling/throbbing blue.
I reset my modem and my router, but the router still cycled blue. I tried to factory reset (repeatedly) both via TP Link instructions & 30-30-30. I've reconnected the devices, etc... but no matter what I did, the router would flash red, green, and then promptly begins cycling/throbbing blue light mode (which according to the Tether app, indicates "The system is starting up or the router is being reset.") and then stays there, stuck.
I've tried to scour this forum, Reddit, and Google, but was unable to find any solution beyond 'factory rest' - which is the point of the process the device is stuck in.
Has anyone had a similar experience or can offer a potential solution outside of 'factory reset' which I've tried repeatedly.

Hi, thank you very much for posting on TP-Link Community.
Is your Archer AX6000 V1 or V2? And did it start happening since a firmware update?
Please confirm if the LED is circulating blue or circulating blue in parallel
Besides, please refer to the Method 2 in the guide below to recover to the router and let us know if it solves the problem:

Hi, may I know if the problem still exists?
Please remove all the Ethernet cables from the router including all LAN and WAN ports, don't connect any wireless client devices, then check if the router will be able to stay powered on. If so, please try factory reset the router by holding reset button until the LED begins circulating blue to its factory default settings.

Thanks for reaching out - as far as I know, it happened on its own. I left the house and everything was working fine, and then I noticed I was unable to connect to my smart devices, and when I came home, it was stuck in this mode of circulating blue lights (not in parallel).
I've tried both methods to try to rescue the device from bricked mode, but unfortunately there's no response from the hardware other than this i finite blue loop.

@Sunshine when removing the cables from WAN & LAN, the device stays powered on. It will not factory reset, no matter how long I hold down the reset button (I've tried up to 90 seconds with no response).

Hi, do you mean the LED stays solid red after you removing the cables from WAN&LAN?
If you reconnect the WAN cable, will it be able to connect the internet or will the LED turn circulating blue again?
If it will keep circulating blue again, we would like to forward your case to our senior engineer for debugging, please let us know the hardware version of your AX6000 router like V1 or V2. And if it will still stay powered on after reconnecting the cables, please also check firmware version of your AX6000 on its web interface.
Looking forward to your reply.

Hi, I've sent you a private message to provide another method of firmware recovery, if the device still cannot stay on when connected ethernet cables, please try it and let us know if it solves the problem.
