If you managed to force the wrong firmware on to the router, you may have bust it.
The router usually stops you from doing that.

As Kitsap suggests, a manual update is the safest.

Off with the cap-lock key, no need to shout. Go to the Downloads section above and feed in the model number of your router.
The result takes you here: https://www.netgear.com/support/download/?model=R6400v2
Strongly recommend your use a manual update method like described here: https://kb.netgear.com/23960/How-do-I-manually-update-the-firmware-on-my-NETGEAR-router
Avoid automatic updates or updates via an application on a mobile device.
