(Need help) debrick unresponsive R6900v2
I need help debricking a r6900v2 because of a failed software update
I give up I'm buying a link router from your competitors and using ddwrt.
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
and here's a 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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

tftp: can't read from local file 'R9000v2-V1.2.0.88.img'
did you follow the instructions precisely?
And make sure the file was extracted to the proper location?
If its not reading it, either its not extracted, not in the proper location, or your path/file name isn't correct.
Yes, I followed the instructions percisely!
And make sure the file was extracted to the proper location?
Yes, It was extracted using 7-zip and the file placed on the desktop, I changed the directory to one drive on win 10.
If my pathway file name was not correct then how do I fix it?
