Did you try downgrading the firmware?

Thanks for replying. I am using Netgear CM700 modem. The LED for internet connection to modem and the router is amber. I used the Netgear app to update the firmware of the router, it failed.I downloaded tftp2.exe. latest firmware(unzipped), used Ethernet cable to connect to the router from PC and tried to update, it failed. I connected the Ethernet cable from the PC to the output of the router (not the input/colored one) during the update.
