Can't boot tftp recovery Archer C6 v2

Did you carefully follow instructions here?

Do you see any packets when the router boots up?

Yes. The WPS LED lights up about 4 seconds after powering on the router, at which time I release the reset button, however the router just appears to proceed with normal boot sequence then.

Nothing at all until the router starts sending gratuitous ARP for its IP.

Try to experiment with the time when you release the reset button.
I suppose you connected PC and the router to the same Ethernet segment.

OK, got it to work - looks like the switch I was using (some Asus 5-port gbit switch) took too long to negotiate the link. Had to dig out an ancient Allied Telesyn 10/100 switch.

Yeah, the switch I used was rather old too
