disassemble the router r9000 x10
would anyone know how to disassemble the router r9000. I searched everywhere and found nothing. Is there any tutorial with images if possible? My router bricked and I need to access the seria pins on...

I've never done this, so I know nothing, but that does not look good
to me.antinode is correct in that the output does not look good. Fact that you are getting readable output says you have the serial connect setup properly, but there should not be errors and I have never hear of red eye..... ,but that maybe what is on these. In any case I am not seeing valid output other then firmware name Annapurma labs, owned by Amazon. CPU in the r9000 is from them. Init errors are not good. Maybe time to toss in bin and move on.

Not properly.Only wired interfaces works, but poorly. I can neither assign IP to PC or router. I can't acess nothing in the router.

The TFTP recovery scheme (properly attempted) failed?
when I power on the router, the power led don't blink, it goes directly to on and I can't acces the router by the scheme of tftp

"searched" for what? If you can't find any disassembly instructions
for that model, then you might try looking for similar models, and
extrapolating.
I don't know how to open the equipment and how it is built completely differently from other models, there is no way to "extrapolate". As I could not access through the traditional tftp scheme, I figured the last exit would be access through the serial interface. Would you know otherwise? Thanks

So, not "bricked" (whatever that means). "poorly"? "can neither" or
"can't" is not a useful description of anything. As usual, showing
actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.

The IP configuration of your computer makes no sense to me. Why
"100.55.109.92"? That's a public IP address, not a LAN IP address for
the R9000.
I'm English-only, but your "telnet" error message looks to me as if
you have not enabled the "telnet" command on your Windows system.
That's a Windows-configuration problem, not a router problem.
To enable the "telnet" command on Windows 10:
Settings > Apps > (Related settings) Programs and Features >
Turn Windows features on or off : Telnet Client
Or, if you can find a Control Panel, then:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features
on or off : Telnet Client
But why? By default, Netgear routers do not listen for Telnet
connections, so it's not clear what you expect to learn from that.
It's not clear to me that there's any problem with your router.
Certainly no reason to open it and start playing with a serial-port
interface. Especially when you seem not to know enough to configure
your router properly.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read.
General advice: Don't try to open the router until you know much more
than you seem to know now.
Thank you very much for your attention in answering, but I can't make myself understood. Neither the router reset button is working. When connecting the PC to the router it does not give me a valid IP (192.168.1.xx) but a random one. the wifi LEDs do not light up, so I would like to load new firmware. I bought this second hand router already with this glitch, you know?
So someone else has already played with the router? Do you know what they did?
Is the router currently connected to a modem? If so is the modem's IP address in the 100.x range?
Fact that the power led comes on solid seems to indicate there is a valid firmware load on the router. Is the router plugged into something, other then power of course?
When you say you did a reset, did you hold the reset in for at least 7-10 seconds? Common misconception is that all you have to do is just push and release.
I would start with the router not connected to anything other then a PC/MAC connected via Ethernet to one of the lan ports and see if you get an IP address. If not I would configure the PC for a static IP address of say 192.168.1.10 with gateway of 192.168.1.1. It is possible the router is currently configured as an AP so would not provide IP addresses. Then either see if you can ping the router, 192.168.1.1 or use a browser to access 192.168.1.1. Fact that the wifi lights are off may just mean the current configuration has them turned off. I assume that when you plug an Ethernet cable into a LAN port with a device on the other end of the cable that the LAN port light comes on?
Yes, I tried to reset holding the button for more than 40 seconds for more than one time.
I Don't know what someone who sold me the router did previuosly.
When I power on the router without nothing connect to it you can see by the photos I post the leds lighs that comes on. It's kind of strange as you can see by the photos (forgive my english).
When I connet a PC to a LAN port the LED comes on and I can access internet if the interne cable is connected too, but I can't atribbute a fixed IP to my PC or access or manage the router.
the wifi leds don´t work no way.
