Issue with Nighthawk CAX30S

Dear Members,

 

I am facing issue with CAX30S after NetGear performed a firmware upgrade on my modem router.

I am trying to follow the instruction as shared by other members and YouTube to downgrade the firmware and the process is not completing due to following reasons:

 

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Gateways/CAX30-Xfinity-issue-FIXED/td-p/2296280

 

1) Even though I have connected to LAN port 1 on back of modem/router but on front side it shows light on port number 2.

2) LAN port lights in the front keep restarting on its own.

3) Not able to connect with the static IP as assigned in the Ethernet IPv4 settings due to above mentioned points.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

    What issue are you having downgrading? Its a pretty simple process and doesn't require tftp for the cax30. Should be able to do it through the settings
