R6900v2 power button blinking
The links I was sent from netgear are no help. I’m not sure how to fix the issue. I’m not able to check the ISP connection and DNS settings, upload firmware to a NETGEAR router using Windows TFTP, or ...
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
I’m not able to connect my computer with Ethernet cord, so how will all of these steps work?
Why can't you?
- My laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port on it. So
I’m at a lossOptions?
1. buy a usb--->ethernet adapter
2. borrow a laptop/pc to try it
3. if you're still within warranty, you can try opening a support ticket to see about rma. If you're not, then you'd need to try one of the other options to fix it as you'd need to be hardwired in to fix it.
