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.
nmrpflash. I wasn't sure which of the nmrpflash I should use or how to use it. for example: nmrpflash.dev, nmrpflash.manifest, and nmrpflash.rc.. If possible would you explain a little simpler. Thanks

Where is it failing in the process when using tftp/nmrpflash?

It is failing at the start of the process. The Router Link LED and the Client Link LED never come on anymore after I attempted to update the Firmware, EX7300V1-EX6400V1-V1.0.2.152.img on Dec 31st. Only the "ON" light turns on now. I have tried connecting the Extender to my PC using an Ethernet cable but it will only turn on the WPS. Once I disconnect the cable from my PC the WPS turns off.
I purchased this Extender new, June 26, 2020. The Extender is currently taking up space on a wall outlet.
