Both routerlogin.net and 192.168.1.1 refuse to connect after the 10 second reset. I disconnected the router's WAN port too beforehand.

Why is the local IP address for your ethernet adapter 4 192.168.56.1? I would disable this adapter to be sure Windows is using the primary adapter connected to the router. 

 

Might give this a go to see if you can get FW re-loaded fully and clear the routers condition:

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW. 
Make sure you enable tftp: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
Video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done:

Try nmrpflash if TFTP doesn't work:

    The other wifi adapters are for VMware and Virtualbox respectfully but I disabled them just in case. I followed your instructions to use tftp, they were very clear. The orange light never blinked when I followed the instructions so I just tried sending the command at different time intervals but all of them claimed to have timed out. I gave up and came back to it today but to my surprise it looks like one of them did go through because now I have access to web page on 192.168.1.1 and was able to finish set up through there. Still not totally sure what did the trick, but we don't question it. Thanks again for your help.
