Hello Max_F,

 

Do you mean you bricked the router after an online upgrade?

I upgraded offline, I mean from a firmware file stored on my disk.

 

May be there is a risk in your case, but I don't know the reasons (bad temp file or other).

I think it is interesting to discuss this point with other users and/or Netgear support...

Max_F If you can still ping the router, I suggest that you try to follow the steps from this link or try another TFTP client. 

However, if you cannot ping the router anymore I suggest that you contact support to get an RMA.
