R6080 took a crap during update
So when I was updating the firmware the other day it was almost done and my Internet went down so netgear basically has been flashing 2 lights it's the power symbol and the 3 dot symbol and I can't get it to do anything else.
I've tried to hard reset multiple times I've tried taking out the power cable hitting the reset button hitting the reset button and power button at the same time.mostly it just green continually on power button.

Did you do a 30/30/30 reset?
- Yep been trying since last night.i was only able to get 2 lights back after holding power and reset button down
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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
Via a wired connection, you'll have to put a firmware on the router. Assuming that there isn't any firmware on it. And you can do that by using a TFTP client. Attached is a link to a Netgear article discussing this:
