I’ve “bricked” my router

If your router is bricked (stops responding after a faulty flashing process), it is best to contact your router brand’s customer support for troubleshooting.

Linksys router users can also try these steps:

  1. Power on your router.
  2. Keep it on for six to ten seconds.
  3. Turn off the router.

Repeat this process three more times.
