NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 stopped working midway through a Zoom meeting
The router unexpectedly stopped working. The power light is blinking white slowly; sometimes, it's just fully red. No other lights are on in any capacity.
I can't access the router's webpage.
I have a Motorola MB8600. I've been using the cable that came with the router for the past 3-4 years.
I've tried unplugging for 20 minutes, and replugging to no avail.
I've tried manually uploading firmware through cmd, but the connect request failed.
I just tried the sequence you detailed but that didn't work either sadly.
Last thing to try is a 30-30-30 reset. IF this fails to bring back the XR router to a setup state at 192.168.1.1 then router probably needs to be replaced.
