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...

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".
Sorry 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.
Yes I can ping 192.168.1.1 (set my own IP to 192.168.1.95 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0)
The above discussed procedure (link) refers to a TFTP client for the mac which I downloaded.
To connect, you provide the IP, password (used the default factory password of the router, as I had done a factory reset) and a file to upload (see attached screenshot)

Many thanx and BR
