Red blinking led light on srr60 router
Manuel says that a red blinking light on SRR60 router means firmware is corrupt. Will resetting to factory settings correct this?

Is the device still workable, the management Web UI is accessible?
If not, can the device be ping'ed on the default IP 192.168.1.1 while connected to the LAN and/or WAN port from a computer manually configured to the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, e.g. the address 192.168.1.1 ?
If yes, download the current firmware image for your device from https://www.netgear.com/support/product/SRR60.aspx#download, unpack the ZIP archive, hen use tftp:
tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT path_to_your_firmware.img
Example, I've downloaded the current ZIP archive to the Win 10 Downloads, lightly organized in folders, unpacked it (note: No spaces in the path ideally:
C:\Users\myusername\Downloads\Netgear\OrbiPro\SRR60-V2.5.5.100\SRR60-V2.5.5.100.img
cd C:\Users\myusername\Downloads\Netgear\OrbiPro\SRR60-V2.5.5.100\
tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT .\SRR60-V2.5.5.100.img

Thank you for your response. I am not knowledgeable enough to understand your reply but think you are saying to download the software and reload it. I am a volunteer in our church media room and had trouble with the router after a power outage in our town. I discovered the red blinking light on the router after our satellite router failed to sync. At that point I did not know what to do.

Download, unpack the ZIP archive, and upload using a different process.
Just to confirm before almost breaking a leg:
The router is not workable anymore as of writing?
Your computer can't connect wireless to the SRR60 and it won't get an IP address assigned, so it can reach the network and the Internet?
Have a WIndows or Apple (or for the sake a Linux) computer/notebook at hand?

The Orbi Pro Router SRR60 was flashing on the power light that the firmware was corrupt. I was not able to connect to the system so I perfomed a reset. Now the router just blinks with a white ring on top and no power light indication. After a power cycle now there is a solid green light on power but still pulses white on the top ring.
