WiFi won’t turn on after downgrading firmware XR500
Hello, I updated to the beta firmware 2.3.2.108 recently. I had some issues, so downgraded back to 2.3.2.66 and now my Wifi will not turn on and i always get the message "DumaOS not loaded yet" ...

OK,
Are you also no longer able to access the interface via your browser?
Are there no lights at all on the unit or are any lights showing orange?

Correct. No lights whatsoever except the USB2 light is on. Nothing changes that.
Tried 30-30-30 reset, tried connecting to tftp, even tried disassembling the unit and connecting to serial pins with putty.
Nothing whatsoever.

- kopyoneDec 16, 2020AspirantSame thing. Just the usb2 light is on. The router was unplugged overnight.
Still can’t connect to it- Netduma-FraserDec 16, 2020NetDuma PartnerIf TFTP isn't working then there isn't much you can do. I would not ever recommend doing a 30-30-30 reset as it can cause damage to the router. I'd recommend contacting NG for a replacement if possible. http://support.netgear.com/
