MR6450-100EUS in boot loop

My MR6450 is stuck in a boot loop 


It shows the Netgear logo, then the 5G logo, then reboots.

 

I have tried multiple attempts to factiory reset, but no use.  Using FDT.exe I have been able to communicate to the model from my computer.


I need the full recovery firmware package for MR6450-100EUS and should be able to get this running again.

      Thank you for your post, does this mean 1) I am not alone  2) There is a chance of getting this modem running again?  Many thanks, Darren

        Several similar reports here in the community - and beyond.

         

        Trouble is that the basic actions don't lead to a success typically. Beyond, there are no official  downloads (for the various versions and variants) are - along with the unofficial tool - are not available for direct downloads. Looking from outside: Probably to avoid product piraterey.
