R6400v2 reboot loop - firmware fail
Last night i tried to update my firmware and it failed in some way. Now i have the dreaded flasing power light and believe it is in a startup loop. I have done all the suggested flashing methods in...
- try the nmrpflash. I've had luck with that when tftp wouldn't work
Thanks for your reply. I have seen all your comments in many other threads and followed everything you had to say and many other.
- AC1750 Model R6400v2
- on power on it runs through all the lights, basically the all come on and then turn off, and then the power light comes on solid for about 10 seconds and then it flashes, thats it. if i plug a computer in i get white light of the port it is plugged into.
- windows TFTP is exactly as the Netgear says to do it and it successfully uploads. tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put R6400v2-V1.0.4.98_10.0.71.chk
- You had mention in another thread that if it did not take you may have to try again and experiment to catch it at the right time.
when trying to follow the directions of the reset right before the put command i can hold the rest down for 10 seconds power it up and continue to hold reset but then it will just continue to go in to resetting it does not come back to a flashing light like it says it should do 10 times before letting off reset.

You are a saint. on this particular model you do not use the LAN port as tated ant the unit has to be on not off when you initiate the command. also it was def a timming thing. i tried several times and onece it took and loaded it. thank you so much for your help. this makes me so happy i was dreading having to buy another when this has been working so well.

power was off? If you want to call that "timing", then I guess that it
was "timing".> [...] onece it took and loaded it. [...]
Good news is good news.
I have read a lot of your comments on many post and you seem to have a little bit of an attitude. you should calm it down a bit. the instructions say to have the unit off when you start then turn it on once you see a command. You tend to act like everyone is an idiot. so no that was not the timing. once i figured out that go ahead and have it on and it still did not work but at least got through the first part i figured out the timing. you can read through the instructions yourself and see. stop being an ass to people.

Either way I'm glad to hear you got it working!
