AC750 EX3700 power light blinking green
After the update to V1.0.0.88_1.0.58, my extender has failed twice. In one case, the power light was green and the router and the device lights were off, and the web interface was unusable (TCP/IP time out error). In the other case, the power light was blinking green (which is not documented, apparently), and otherwise the same. Cycling the power clears the issue. at least temporarily. According to my logs, the first time the externder failed, the outage lasted 5+ hours. The server that it connects to did not crash, so it seems unlikely that it was a power issue. The second time, I was sitting in front of the extender at the time and I didn't notice anything that failed, just that my desktop reported that it could no longer see the router. What other diagnostic tests can anybody think of? When it isn't failing, it works quite nicely and I am pleased with it.
Thank you
Jeff

You may be a candidate for the TFTP recovery scheme. See, for
example:https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1622096#M102004
Those articles tend to be appropriate for a router whose default IP
address is "192.168.1.1". For an extender, whose mostly-dead default IP
address might be different, you might need to send the file to an
address like, say, "192.168.1.250", instead. ("192.168.1.10", and so
on, should still be good for the computer.)Also:
