  @Riley_S I have had this issue a number of times.   It happens when I lose internet (not wi-fi). When internet is restored, the lights remain red and a reset will not reset or restore normal function and I must replace the entire unit(s).   Very frustrating.

  @KentRda The issue that I was having is now resolved.  The issue I reported numerous times on this forum persisted for nearly a year.  At one point I filled out some form TP-Link sent me to identify the my specific KS240 (MAC address?).  Presumably so they could collect some diagnostic info.  Many months after that I received a message that a new firmware was being released.  That firmware came out roughly 6 moths ago.  In the end...  It was a major PITA when it was getting into this red light/locked up state, which happened about every 3 to 6 weeks for nearly a year, but its never happened again since the firmware update 6 months ago.  So I thankfully consider this particular issue closed/resolved.

  @nsrdave   I agree.  I've not had the problem for a few nmonths.  It more or less went away for me when they put out a firmware update for the my Deco router, after which I think I had one of three fail.  After that failure, I've not had any issues at all.  All three I have have not failed in quite a while and that's with regular boots of router and modem.
