WNDR3300V2 Need Firmware Recovery Tool
I know this is an old router but I tried to flash the latest firmware and now I have a blinking green power light. Where can I fine the Firmware Recovery Tool. I don't have the resource CD.

did you try a factory reset?
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on.
if that doesn't help 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

the firmware can be found at the support site.
There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.
