Can't Access R6700v3 after firmware update
I just upgraded firmware on my Netgear R6700v3 router, to 1.0.4.122_10.0.95. It functions ... as a router and gateway. But, I can no longer login to its admin page at http://192.168.1.1 or http://rou...
See threads linked below for possible solutions to this problem:
No, no, no, no, no.
And, hell no.
Not one speck of any of this even came remotely close to a solution!
It's clear people did not read what I originally said here, which is: I. Will. Not. Factory. Reset. This. Router. At. All. Ever. Period. Exclamation point.
That will effectively brick it, and I will under no circumstances voluntarily do so. I don't know how much clearer I can be, but there you have it.
I also attempted the gymnastics which are the TFTP solution, which did not work. Not even close. The TFTP app I ran on my Mac repeatedly threw an error that "file is too big (37404730 bytes) and will take 73057 blocks to be sent with block size of 512 bytes" when I attempted to click "Put" during the magical moment during the router's reboot when it's supposed to be receptive to TFTP files.
As I originally explained, Netgear is going to have to grow a freaking pair already and fix this problem.
Yes, that's right. As a company, they need to collectively grow the heck up, take responsibility for having destroyed my and many other routers, and reach out to freaking fix them already.
Nothing else is going to do it. You know it; I know it; and Netgear knows it. The question is, do they have the courage to do something about it? Or are they going to hide behind these forums full of ineffective and useless so-called "solutions"? That seems to be what they want to do.
- Calm down there good buddy no need to go off the deep end on us, we are on the same boat and it's sinking fast. Lay down the pipe and walk away, go take a relaxing walk in the woods, take a bubble bath, put on some Kenny G, whatever you like. You have to live dangerously sometimes. Do the factory reset. Be the person you swore to never become. Embrace the dark side. Find an apprentice and become a Sith lord. Because it's the only way you're going to get this jank router to work. Just do it! I have done it a couple of times so far. And all I am hitting is net, swish. No bricks here. Or just go the smart route and get a better router. Or you can live vicariously through me. I got a TP-Link Archer AX12000 and now I actually get the advertised speeds I'm supposed to get from Comcast Business. I got lucky, bought it for 220, then looked around and realized I somehow got a $350-400 router for almost half that brand new with the shrink wrap still on the box. Otherwise, you're going to have to learn to stop worrying and love the factory reset.

Walk, do not run, and buy yourself a new router. Preferably not Netgear.
Good Luck!
