Nighthawk X6S AC3000 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router (R7960P) Firmware Update Failure
I have a router running firmware version V1.4.1.44_1.3.5 and am attempting to update to the current version R7960P-V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 and following the instructions on the Netgear website it fails. I ...
And you did set a static IP address ON your wired PC as well?
Try https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash as well.
Wireless bridge mode is under advanced tab/Advanced settings/Router Mode. You'll see Router/AP and Bridge options here. If you set up a bridge mode, besure to input a STATIC IP address for the mode. I'd use 192.168.1.60. You don't have to actually have it connect to anything, just use a static so you'll have access to the web page while in bridge mode. You'll need to se a static IP on your wired PC, something like 192.168.1.59
Gotcha.....I had set the wired PC with 192.168.1.10 and had everything disconnected from it. I will try the other app shortly and then if that does not work, flip it to bridge mode and see what happens. I will let you know what comes of this....kinda a pain that it being finicky like this.......

don't try the .50 firmware on the R7960P.
Skip that version.
