Firmeware upgrade does not coplete
I just attempted to upgrade the firmware in my router, but after 45 minutes, it was still not complete. The power LED is still blkinking.
I tried to power cycle it, but to no avail. It will not...
I went out and bought a Linksys to replace the "broken" Netgear.
There is support material, including a manual, for the R7000 somewhere at the end of this link:
>>>> R7000 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<<
If the regular "factory reset" does not work, try getting it into "recovery mode":
- Press reset for 30 seconds
- Keep pressing reset while removing power
- Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
If that works you should see a flashing white power LED. You may then be able to load the new firmware.
