The router firmware has become corrupted due to a sudden loss of power or other interruption to the router's normal operation, or any number of other causes. To resolve this issue, the firmware will have to be reinstalled. This will wipe out all the settings that you may have configured on the router, you will have to configure it again from scratch.
