Nighthawk R7000 power LED stays solid amber
Hi folks - hoping somebody out there can help me revive my old Nighthawk R7000 router. I've had it working flawlessly for years in regular router mode however today I tried to set it up in repeater ...
Hi folks. Thanks for your replies. I did try the "recovery reset" option but that didn't seem to work either. However, what did work for me was the nmrpflash "Netgear Unbrick Utility". This can be found here: https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash
I run Arch Linux at home and nmrpflash can be found in the AUR, so it's a really easy install on Arch with "yay -S nmrpflash" ... and then follow the instructions in the github page linked above.
When you reset, did you push and hold for up to 15 seconds while powered on?
What happened when you tried tftp? Did you get errors? did the firmware send successfully?
