Blinking Power Light before and after TFTP Firmware Update
Hello everyone, I attempted a firmware update on my router (AC1750 - R6400 V2) but it failed. In an effort to fix the problem I downloaded a new firmware image from here: https://www.netgear.com/...

Sometimes it takes a few attempts. I usually use the windows built in client successfully.
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.
