Hey, thanks a ton for sharing this! I actually ran into a similar issue with a VigorAP 903 a while back—locked out with no way to reset, and I had no clue the TFTP recovery mode was even an option. Your step-by-step makes it super clear, especially the part about trying both 192.168.1.1 and .2. I was stuck for hours until I realized mine was responding on .2.

Also didn’t know that flashing the firmware would re-enable the reset button. That’s a game-changer. I’ll definitely keep this bookmarked in case I run into it again or someone else needs help.
