R7000-V1.0.9.32_10.2.34 update corrupt, cannot re-install even with recovery procedure
Hi there.
I recently launched a firmware update frmo the web interface (did it several times without any issue).
This time the process did not complete properly and the power led started flashing, indicating a "corrupt firmware"
I tried several things, from reboot to factory reset. Still doesn't work.
I then applied the recovery procedure sending the firmware by TFTP
https://kb.netgear.com/19841/Reinstall-the-firmware-on-a-router-without-the-setup-CD-recovery-tool
Still impossible to re-install. I get an "Error of type 50 occured".
Tried both V1.0.9.28_10.2.32 and V1.0.9.32_10.2.34
Same error message.
Can anyone please help me re-install a valid firmware on my R7000 ?
Many thnx

That all sounds good.

I'd try the command-line TFTP client program. At the very least, its
error messages might convey more useful information than "type 50".

That's a very terse description of a multi-step procedure with many
variables. One example (of many): Which file did you try to send to the
router?
https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1533866Sorry for the missing details.
I connected with a cable form my mac.
I have been able to set a static ip address and the corresponding subnet mask.
The connection to the router worked properly (password) and the transfer started normally and lasted quite some time before I got the error message.
I tried both following files : R7000-V1.0.9.32,10.2.34.chk and R7000-V1.0.9.28,10.2.32.chk and it ended up the the "Error: An error of type 50 occurred" message.
Any suggestion?

What, exactly, did you set where? Does a command like "ping
192.168.1.1" get a response from the router?

What, exactly, does "The connection to the router" mean to you? Were
you using some downloaded TFTP client program or the built-in
command-line TFTP client program?
"(password)"? The first "T" in "TFTP" is for "Trivial". So far as I
know, TFTP does not use a password. That's part of "Trivial".

A ".chk" file is the right type.
