RED Power Led Orbi RBS40v
Hi all I had a working RBS40V however i moved it and now the power led just shows RED (the little light at the back). Normally ofc this would be a greed light to show power to the device. ...
sounds like you might have a corrupt firmware or boot up issue.
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
Hi, so the first method didn't work, using a static ip address on ethernet, as the device doesn't respond to 168.1.1., so i guess i need to try the other tool
however , idiot here.. not absoutely sure on the method. downloaded the zip, (and installed npcap)
but unclear of method to start nmrpflash as its not a cmd or bat or similar.
how do i "run" it ?
i'm on windows 10 but also have ubuntu dual boot so can do it within linux if its easier
i'm sure you're eyes are rolling at such stupidity but a little idiots guide to start would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again
ben
ignore my windows questions, i used ubuntu in the end, after compiling
however i think it is dead as i get Advertising NMRP server on enp8s0 (my ethernet)...
then it finally ends.. No response after 60 seconds. Bailing out.
so do i assume then this is a brick ?
