Netgear nighthawk AC1900/R7000 flashing power light
Hi there, I have an AC1900 which has been working fine. I recently went on holiday and on my return it no longer works and the power led flashes white constantly. The router was not touched or switched off. I have tried multiple restarts and factory resets with no luck. I cannot find the router on the router login page and CMD also shows no default gateway address for the router. Netgear genie also shows no router when I try to login. The internet light is also off. Any info would be appreciated

You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

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.
