RAX200 Power LED is blinks slowly and continuously
I am using netgear Rax200 router.
I have tried updating the version 1.0.4.120 with the Nighthawk app, but a few times failed. May be Internet singalI. I tried restart again and then it was failed.
Now, Power LED is blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This happen while i am firmware update is interrupted, the router detects a problem with the firmware.
I can't login to the router with a PC, it does not have a WiFi signal to login by iPhone.
Pls help me!
Thanks!

You may be a candidate for the TFTP recovery scheme. See, for
example:https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1622096#M102004

For future reference, "can't" is not a useful problem description.
It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you
did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual
results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than
vague descriptions or interpretations.- Thanks for suoport,

The TFTP recovery scheme is a multi-step procedure which offers
multiple opportunities for user input, hence user error. By itself,
saying that you "tried" it doesn't say much. And "not work" is no
better. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual
results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than
vague descriptions or interpretations. Especially when using a
command-line program, copy+paste is your friend.> [...] I tried changing the ip address to 192168.1.1 [...]
"tried changing the ip address" of _what_? The crippled router
should already be at "192.168.1.1". Your computer should be at a
similar but different address, like, say, "192.168.1.10". Read the
instructions again, more carefully?
