Netgear AC1200 Router will not work after firmware upgrade
The only light on it is the usb light. I tried tfpt2 and it starts and gets to about 70% then stops. I also tried tftpd64 it says #0 block and does nothing else.
Lots of things can go wrong using tftp.
also, are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
I think I finally have it back now. I did it through command prompt. It worked. Thanks!
