R6700v3 No WebGui and no App after update
Hi all,
after the latest update of the router, I have no access to the GUI any longer (not using the static IP, not using www.routerlogin.net, not HTTP, not HTTPS, not in Safari, not in Chrome, not in Firefox. The error I get is: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
A test using curl confirmed: curl: (52) Empty reply from server
In addition to that, the Nighthawk App in iOS tells me, that my password would be incorrect (which is impossible, since I use 1Password and used it to login to update....)
The good thing is, it still works, so Wifi is up and running.
(I cannot tell the exact version I updated to, last saturday, but I believe it is the lastest, since I check & update every month.)
Any suggestion how to get that thing into a fully working state again?
Thankful for any help!

It is a pain, but a reset is the first thing to try after an update has wrecked your router.
How do I perform a factory reset on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
With luck you will have a configuration backup that you can reload.
And... with bad luck I have a R6700v3 that doesn't do anything anymore... I guess?
So, let's assume I end up in that situation, what's next then?
No need to jump to conclusions and borrow trouble.....
After a firmware default reset or maybe two, you should be able to configure your router from scratch.
If not, there are ways to upload firmware to the router. See below.
