Hi there,
I've been using OpenWRT on TP-Link Archer C6 V2 (EU) for the last year and it's been an amazing experience. However, a couple weeks back I ran opkg upgrade (I think I tried upgrading luci) and learnt the hard way that it's not a good idea. After a reboot my router stopped working - the power led was lit, but it seemed like the networks disappeared. Anyway, here's what I've done so far:
- I first entered failsafe mode and tried issuing firstboot. After rebooting it seems like all my configs were wiped, but the router is still not functioning correctly. When I navigate to 192.168.1.1 in my browser I'm being redirected to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/, but I'm getting a 502 (Bad Gateway) status with "The process did not produce any response" message
- My understanding was that I'd need to flash the firmware again, so I tried doing that with sysupgrade, but I'm getting
Bus error
and not sure where to go from here:
root@OpenWrt:~# sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-19.07.7-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-squashfs-factory.bin
Image metadata not found
Use sysupgrade -F to override this check when downgrading or flashing to vendor firmware

I'm not exactly sure where to go from here, I decided I'm gonna ask here first before I break it even more. Any help would be appreciated, I'll also be happy to provide any other details that may be useful. Thanks!
