Latest firmware breakd D6200 web GUI, how do I roll back using the Genie?
Hi, The latest firmware for the D6200 (V1.1.00.34_1.00.34) has broken the web GUI. I have tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge, all show a mostly text page. If I use the Genie to try and update (to roll b...

What does "simply dumb text" mean?
Screen (Alt + Print Screen) shot?
I assume that you tried routerlogin.net.
You could try the more severe recovery reset:
- Press reset for 30 seconds
- Keep pressing reset while removing power
- Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
This might dislodge any corrupt settings in the firmware.
There is another way of applying firmware:

In your case, unlike many of the people who need that, you start with the advantage that your D6200 is not bricked, with a flashing orange power LED.
Hi,
> "Bricked" is a term that refers to a device that simply will not work. The usual indicator is a flashing power LED. Is that what you see?
Sorry, I have indeed played a bit loose with the term "bricked".
The router appears to be fully functional with the exception of the browser interface, this is where I use a browser and "point it" to, in my case 192.168.0.1. and log in.
(I have said "bricked" as esentially the router is unuseable, and apparently unrecoverable)
The Windows Genie, and Android Genie still connect and appear to be fully functional. They simply don't have the functionality I need to be able to configure the router.

Sadly I only get a cut down, text only version of the homepage, with no active links enabling me to navigate to the firmware upload page.
So, in summary;
+ I can log in using the browser interface, but the web page displayed is text only without any means to navigate to other pages.
+ The Windows and Android Genies work ok, but they do not have enough functionality to configure the router.
+ The Windows Genie has the functionality to trigger a firmware update, but only from the web server, which of course says that the firmware is up to date so does nothing.
Many thanks,
Garry

The text is simple text rather than being a link or input element etc.> Screen (Alt + Print Screen) shot?
Attached.

Oooo, I like that, this is exactly what I have been looking for.
I will try this, and, hopefully all will end well!Many thanks.

That screen looks like one of the "hidden" ways into the router.
For light relief, try this:

Hi all,
Many thanks for your efforts, after the router kept rejecting the TFTP connection I have given in and bought a new D7000v2 Nighthawk router.
Having issues with it not logging stuff, but that is for a different thread if I can't figure it out.
Again, many thanks.
Garry
