R7000P firmware update via USB port

Question

I have an R7000P Nighthawk AC2300All lights are flashing, alternately.No access to it via WiFi nor Ethernet cable.I'm hoping it is just a bad firmware update.Can I update the firmware via USB port?If so, how?Also a bit confused on the factory reset, which I have tried... When holding the pin in for 30 seconds, should the power be connected? Power on? etc.I tried calling Netgear. The suppossed tech support agent told me I have to contact my ISP. Insane! The router is not on any ISP. It is on the workbench, tethered to a computer.To repeat, cannot access router via LAN nor WiFi.Thanks

USB is not supported on NG routers.&nbsp;
Contact NG support again and explain to them this is NOT a ISP issue.&nbsp;

If TFTP doesn't work, try:https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash
