My router TP-Link TP-WDR4300 keeps restarting after I tried to upgrade it. I went from v24-sp2 (12/22/14) std (SVN revision 25697) to v3.0-r31277 std (02/07/17) with the tl-wdr4300-webflash.bin file.

Now it keeps restarting like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrB8ttyngfc



What I did wrong was not resetting beforehand. I didn't realise it was absolutely necessary to do this. But now I read it is. I can't change it but I learned from this.

I already tried both hard reset methods: 30 reset and 30/30/30 reset. It keeps doing what it does in the video. Can someone please help me out?

Thanks! That's an amazing find. However, I don't know how to solder and I don't have the equipment to do so. I had the same model laying around unused, so I decided to go with that one. I'll just have to consider this one bricked.
