I was trying to do a hard reset (30/30/30) so as to load a new firmware. But the router is not getting into a "flashing yellow light of the power led state" despite multiple attempts. The second alternative tried was to hold the reset button for 45 seconds after powering on. This is also not working.
At the end of both the above steps, I am presented with the default dlink login screen. Is this some hardware issue or is there some way around it.
