Netgear C3700 Router lights constantly flashing

Question

Woke up this morning to find my wifi routers lights are constantly flashing. Switching it off and back on makes no difference. I have also tried resetting it using the reset button by

Holding down for 7 seconds

Holding down for 30 seconds

The "30:30:30" method

But all the same results. The router won't connect to a laptop with a cable either. All lights are rapidly flashing.

Any suggestions? Googled as far as I can

Disconnect the coax and LAN cables from the modem, pull the power adapter from the wall out let for 1 minute then plug back in. With out the coax cable and other cables, power ON the modem. Does LEDs still flash?&nbsp;

Tried that but still they constantly flash. Its all lights. I have a feeling the router somehow had a power surge and it blew the insides.&nbsp;

Probably. Sounds like the modem unit is just bad and needs replaced.&nbsp;:smileyembarrassed:
