RAX120 Firmware Recovery
Hi,
I have Netgear RAX120V2. It is stuck in bootloop. Need help with recovering it.
I have connected to via ethernet to laptop and manually set it to 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.1. I tried using TFTDP but is stuck to block #0. Tried with serial and tftpd combination but PuTTy outputs weird symbols.
Also tried nmrpflash method and it outputs that 60 seconds has passed. Nothing happens here too.
Is there any other methods to recover it ?

Try a 30-30-30 reset on it and see?
Sigh.
- Press reset for 30 seconds
- Keep pressing reset while removing power
- Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
It isn't usually advised on newer routers, but what the heck?

I was told my NG that this is supported as a last resort option on newer NG routers. This may have not been the case with older routers. I have done this on a few newer routers and it worked.
