Netgear Power Led blinking red DGND3700v2
Hi all
My netgear router (DGND3700v2) power light keeps blinking red.
No other LEDs are lit. So I get no connection to the router at all. I've tried to factory reset, but nothing happens, power LED keeps blinking red.
If the firmware is corrupt, how do I update with no wireless connection to the router?
Any help?
Thanks

If you have a flashing power indicator, then you may be a candidate
for the TFTP recovery scheme. See, for example:https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1622096#M102004

Uh, use a computer with a _wired_ (Ethernet) connection to the
router?

Maybe it is just dying of old age.
Did you try a different power adapter? could be the power adapter has gone bad.
