Go back?

Hi everyone. I think I have bricked my r7000 after trying to upgrade to the latest dd-wrt. I've been on dd-wrt for a few years and never had this problem after upgrading. There's no internet/wi-fi. I can't figure it out. I think it's best I return to Netgear firmware. Has anyone done that? Does anyone know the steps I need to take to restore my router, please.

Thank you, I appreciate any help.

    You actually need to look on the dd-wrt forum for the best way to remove their firmware and to get back to stock.

    some 3rd party firmwares have specific instructions that need to be followed or you can make issues worse. 

    So I'd recommend checking on there.
