Unfortunately when I attempt to follow the command prompt option for uploading the firmware from my computer, the response I get after hitting enter on the tftp command is the following:
Connect request failed
When I tried using the tftp windows client option following the instructions from this website:

Is the extender device irretrievably 'bricked' / wrecked? Any other thoughts/suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Its taken several times before with a couple I had to get them to go through.
don't give up after one attempt
