Mesh Mr60 router doesn't work and cannot be updated with the firmware
Hi,
I've tried reset and other reset methods I can find. Also, I tried the method introduced here, https://kb.netgear.com/000064624/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-on-Apple-macOS . The last msg on the terminal is "Transfer timed out". I tried it times and get the same result.
It seems that the new firmware cannot be uploaded to the router.
Regards, Peter

I posted the information from the Mac OS terminal here,

Glad you got it figured out 🙂
Might mark it solved so others aren't still trying to fix it

what firmware version are you on?
Is the router working and it just won't update its firmware?
Hi Plemans, thank you for your reply. It's working well now after a successful updating the firmware. Previously I connected the router via its Internet sock instead of the Ethernet sock, which was the reason the updating didn't work.
