So last week I lost all communication with my router. No internet and couldn't access my router page (btw stock firmware).
Only light that was on was the power button. But every 110 seconds (almost on the dot) both wifi channel lights come on and the WAN light comes on (Red due to everything else being unplugged).
When I ping the unit I get no response until this small window of when the 3 other leds come on. Then I get ping responses for about 5 seconds. I can even get to the router admin page but I only have a 5 second window to do anything.
I tried NVRAM reset by pressing the WPS button. Was able to get the rapid flash.
Tried using the firmware restoration tool (in recovery mode). It uploaded fine and goes to 3% of restoration before saying successful. BTW I get successful pings all the time when in restoration mode.
Tried TFTP same result. Also tried every combination of letting it wait an hour before rebooting, letting it set without power, etc.
Last night I finally got serial access to the board using an old arduino. Tried "NVRAM erase" in console and still same result.
It appears that the unit is booting up but it gets to a certain point and just restarts. Usually I get to the line " vlan1: cmd-14: operation not supported" or I get a little bit futher to these lines:
"disk_monitor: wait_second=86400...
disk_monitor: Pause..."
Added note:
My internet did get blocked with a redirect page from my ISP mentioning they detected port scanning from my network. I know correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation but it did occur within a couple hours of each other.
If I need to provide a specific log of the serial output I can provide that when I get home.
