Several routers / access point also have a "reset" method which will
return the unit back to the factory default settings. Then, following
the unit's user guide, you can redo the settings.

I would try to do the unit reset before junking it. Firmware do not
corrupt itself (especially since you state that there is not a
firmware update.)

Hi
It is Not clear what are your expectations. I.e what do you think would

You want to try to revive the thing do as suggested above.
