I plug an ethernet cable from my desktop to my extender EX7300 and I followed the guideline for the tftp firmware upload twice with no success. The video shows the guy downloading tftp2.exe. I am not sure where he got that from. I followed the guidelines to activate windows 10 tftp before trying to flash the extender. It still did not work. The second suggestion is a few levels over my head.
