XR700- Manual Firmware update

Hi All,
 
Trying to Manually update the firmware of a XR700 due to DUMAOS not loading error when tyring to access the home page 
 
Using a MAC and connected via the ethernet directly to the router. I start a terminal window and follow the TFTP process to try to upload V1.0.1.50.img
 
CD
CD - Dir where the file is
tftp 192.168.1.1. ( Mac is on 192.168.1.2)
binary
Put XR700-V1.0.1.50.img
I then get the error DIDN'T RECEIVE ANSWER FROM REMOTE ?
 
This process has been done after a rest of the router , i start the set up process through the browser but then get the DUMAOS error after checking for updates and selecting next 
 
Any ideas ?
 
Thanks
J

 

 

  • You won't need to do the TFTP process for this issue, there is also a physical process you need to do to upload via TFTP so the way you're doing it won't work. Go to routerlogin.net/adv_index.htm and that will take you to the Netgear settings part where you can initiate an upgrade.

  • yes all loded correctly but the wifi is still not working for some reason, wifi enabled under set up . This was after a power cut at the house, so not sure if its taken something out on the router. Cable connection is ok

      Disable the WiFi radios in Settings > Advanced, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 4 minutes, then access, enable WiFi radios, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 4 minutes then see if it is working

  • Thanks, big help. I was able to upload and finish the setup.

    This was all after a power cut with the wirless failing to work ( wired all ok). One of those things i guess as all enebaled an on btu no wirless signal from router .

      Great to hear that, is it all loading now correctly on the interface?
