Netgear 6700v3 bricked, tftp doesn't work, no ping to the router

Thanks for the quick response! It ended up being a newbie error, I had the ethernet cable plugged into the yellow WLAN port, instead of one of the 4 other ones. I can ping the router now, so i'm a step closer, but still no dice.

I'm currently trying the command line TFTP recovery scheme:

Static ip set to 192.168.1.10. Subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1

tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put R6700v3-V1.0.4.84_10.0.58.chk
Transfer successful: 48283706 bytes in 35 second(s), 1379534 bytes/s

It says successful, but the power led is still blinking orange, never turns solid. 

I'm having trouble with:

"Count at least 10 flashing power LED and release the reset button."

When I turn on the router while holding down the reset button, the power led flashes, along with all the other leds, pretty sporadically. I ended up holding it down for probably a minute. 

When I restart, my pings look like:

I execute the tftp command right when it hits the first TTL=100 reply.

I have also tried the tftp2 GUI client, which seems to Upgrade, but fails halfway through and never successfully completes.
