Blinking white light for MS60
Had 2 full M60 systems. Both routers setup, 1 as an AP. 3 of the 4 sats setup around the house. Yesterday I had to reboot main router and even factory rest it. Today it all crashed, nothing worked. I...
This KB worked for me, it was a little annoying, but the tech I had was patient. After we tried all the standards, this was finally the one that got it going.
From Youtube comments section (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeoS0xVINOEđ
"If anyone still fails with these instructions from my experience try this next one: use 30-30-30 method (push reset button 30 seconds and remove power cable without removing your tool whatever from the reset button - wait 30 seconds and put powercable back and also continue pushing that reset button with tool for 30 seconds) after this light stays static and u can try uploading that firmware. I think this is somekinda factory recovery state for netgear ?"
This somehow worked for me. It perfectly factory reset the router and I was able to set it up again, didn't even have to upload firmware. Originally I was trying to upload new firmware but my router was so bricked it wasn't even allowing uploads.
After doing the "30-30-30" method I still observed blinking white lights for perhaps 15 seconds, but then it turned a solid orange! From there I set everything up as if it was new, and it works again.
