Now my 'WNDR4700' router, is not booting up it just keep blinking 'green power led'.

Looks like I have to turn it off.

Yes, its still blinking green power led. I think router is dead.
Is there any link to fix this.

Sorry. I have no knowledge about the apm812xx devices generally, or WNDR4700 specifically.

Sounds like you might need to correct a serial cable to see the exact error during boot.

What version did you come from and did you preserve settings?
Have you tried booting into failsafe?

#7

I was upgrading from 17.04.1. No, I did not preserved settings.

I dont know how to start failsafe.
