So yes TFTP is an option, when people have trouble using TFTP the one that seems to work is nmrpflash so give that a try.
Otherwise before going through that try accessing via routerlogin.net/adv_index.htm that should take you to the settings without DumaOS. Then try to upgrade to the beta from here: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/51611-new-xr500-beta-firmware-33535/ see if that helps

Thanks Faser
I ended up doing the nmrpflash. It worked to some degree, I managed to get to the OS, which is as far as I've got. However i couldn't seem to connect to the internet still, but that might be my lack of networking skills.
I tried a few things like dhcp and then assigning IP then all of a sudden I couldn't get back to the OS.
I'll try again tonight.
Connecting to the network via dumaOS should be in the manual?
Cheers
