RBR750 white light
hi folks,
my RBR750 is in a weird boot state where it is just flashing the white light. I have tried multiple attempts to factory reset (30-30-30 etc) but all in vain...I have connected to it directly via ethernet cable and set my Mac's static address to the suggested (192.168.1.10 / 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.1.1) but the ethernet connection keeps on dropping out for me t

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
Make sure you enable tftp: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
Video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done:

I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a WIndows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.

So a factory reset button press of 20 seconds then release with 1 wired PC connected to the RBR, with the RBR disconnected from the ISP modem, results in no connection to 192.168.1.1 in a web page at all?
If so, RBR is probably busted and needs replacing.
