Okay. So I wanted to update my router, and accidently closed the tab. And now I got no internet, I cant access any website. What should I do now?
P.S I'm writing this on my phone

the model of the router is written under the router in a white or silver sticker, you need that information to see what procedure can be followed to recover from a bad update, it seems that your router had that, a bad update, sometimes happens, that is why all routers have a plan b, they do the plan b differently on some models

i find this info for recovery when in problems

it depends on the model how to proceed

the firmware update finishes, the page just informs you what it is doing

do you know the procedure to reset it? usually is just a button in the bakc of the unit, also conect via ethernet cable to the port 1 ion the lan connectors of the router, see if you can enter to the router ip, or is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.100.1

if the firmware dies, sometimes there is a recover procedure, i had to do that alot with a old dlink router i had which i killed alot with custom firmwares, what model and brand do you have?
