DumaOS is loading... This could take up to four minutes. Please wait.
Issue #1 I unplugged my CM1200 modem and my XR500 router two days ago. I waited a minute then plugged them back in. Since then I have kept getting the following message on my PC DumaOS is loading...
- You can select win32 from here https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash/releases/tag/v0.9.22
Go to the System Information page and then in the Rapp panel menu ≡ change the retries to 5, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes before accessing and see if it works then please.
How do I do this? I do not see this in the app version and I can not access DumaOS on anything else.
You wouldn't be able to do it on the app. Probably best to do a factory reset if you can never regain access via a reboot and then do it
- I've already done a factory reset about 5 times and it doesn't help anything other than wasting about 10 minutes setting everything up.
- I'd suggest reupgrading the firmware using the TFTP method, this bypasses the boot process and any issues there then once done do a factory reset for the freshest install possible: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-from-the-Microsoft-Windows-Command-Prompt?article=000059634
So I did all the steps, but my power button never flashed orange. Once I plug it back in, it is solid orange for about a second or two, then it goes off for about a second or two, then back to solid orange. It stays solid orange for about two to three minutes then it turns white. I tried executing the command prompt when it first turned orange, when it went off, and again when it went solid orange again. I unplugged it for 10 - 15 seconds each time with the same result, connect failed request. I tried the Tftpd64 method and it stayed on block #0 (or something like that) for about 45 minutes and didn't do anything. I unplugged the router for about two hours and tried everything again with the same results. I changed the IPv4 back to the original settings since nothing worked. Now the router can not connect to the internet at all. I tried doing a factory reset but it doesn't even bring me to the page it usually does to set it up. It just says "dumaos is not running". The WiFi doesn't work either. The only way I can use my internet now is to have my PC connected directly to the CM1200 modem. I've wasted about 4 hours today trying to get this thing to work. Since the router is now a $250 dust collector, I unplugged it. PLEASE tell me there is another solution so that I can start using my router again. I was recently laid off so I really can't afford to purchase a new one.
