Nighthawk R6700V3 Expressvpn firmware
So i wanted to try out the Expressvpn firmware on my R6700V3 to see if it would work for my setup. Turns out it doesn't now it won't let me reinstall the Netgear firmware. Expressvpn customer service was of no help what so ever. So when i select the Netgear firmware i get no errors and the router disconnects then reconnects still on the Expressvpn firmware. Then after its reconnected and i select the same firmware it says " Invalid file. Upload again." I am using the latest firmware from Netgear.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

You'll need to contact the Mfr of there product since its there FW and not NG stock FW.
Can try getting stock FW back on using TFTP method:https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
