If you can't get it working with tftp or nmrpflash, then it might be a hardware warranty

try tftp again. again its sensitive to timings.
nmrpflash is a little less sensitive so you can always try that first

Nothing, it keeps running and shows nothing
I think the problem is related to communication. When I set my Network to local IP it doesn´t recognize it. It shows default gateway not available. I tried with 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1

Hi, it´s me again.
I tried to connect the Extender directly to my Pc and I set the static IP as it says in: https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-a-TFTP-client-on-Microsoft-Windows.
Tftpd64 does nothing, it just runs but nothing shows. I tried to ping 192.168.1.1 (Extender) and no response at all.I tried connecting the extender to the router by ethernet and the router port blinks but nothing shows on the DHCP Cliente List, as if nothing were connected to it.
Any other idea? Thanks

If you're hardwiring the ex7300 into the router and the ex7300's ethernet light is on, it might not be corrupt.
When its hardwired into a router, it needs to be switched over to access point mode (switch on the side). Switch that over to access point, plug it in, and then push and hold reset for up to 30 seconds. Then hardwire it into your router

Already connected as access point following your instrucctions. It´s not shown in the router dchp client list yet. The orange light doesn´t move at all, not even when I power it. Pretty strange this.
