Greetings to you too!

Do try a hardware reset button if there is one, some sites recommend a 30-30-30 reset which means press and hold the button, wait 30 second, turn router off wait 30 seconds, turn on wait 30 seconds then release the button

Unfortunately it is possible to 'brick' any device when updating its firmware in flash - common problem is losing power or power cycling during the critical flash-write period. If that happens and the bootloader is intact then there may be recovery tools available. The 'b' in model name suggests its a Broadcom router, so unlikely any of the tools on this site will work, sorry.

It sounds like you're going to have to replace the router :?
