Can't speak for the R7100LG - hoever, some devices can have problems with uploading the firmware form certan browsers, ie. Microsoft Edge, or form mobi phones/tablets in general. Try an alternate browser - ideally on a desktop or notebook computer.

thanks for the quick reply, but I am no longer able to connect to the router using Chrome, Firefox, not Internet Explorer. 

ping the router 192.168.1.1. is succesful though

    update: 

    I just got word from Netgear and it looks like I bricked my router.

    Tomorrow I will return the router to the store.

     

    I will keep this topic updated to future reference.
