Hello, First of all thank you for all your hard work in supporting this router.
I am from India and i got this router Archer C5 V4 from the ISP (ACT), I forgot the admin panel password so i tried to reset the router and re-create the password.
When i pressed the reset button, the LEDs blinked but the router didn't reset. I even tried 30-30-30 reset technique but that didn't help either. Everytime i get the same admin panel prompt even the SSIDs are same.
Eventually i thought of flashing opwnwrt via tftp and flash back to the stock. I managed to flash openwrt and get it working. But after i flashed the stock file it started bootloop.
Following is the console output
