EX8000 Broken - All leds are blinking
Dear All, I can not access to my EX 8000, . the back red power led is blinking . the front white leds are blinking. I am connected to it though a direct ethernet cable rj45 but I do not see...
Thanks
I did and found how to make hard reset and it did not Work but not a "recovery" reset.
I should have been more precise. For the firmware update no issue also probably but for the moment I have no Access to the device. A nice brick only. 🙂

You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
