Think for a moment about how little useful unformation that
non-description conveys to the non-psychics in your audience.> [...] is it just dead?
Have you tried the TFTP recovery procedure?

variables, and many opportunities for user error."attempted it" or "do not work" is not a useful problem description.
It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you
did it. As usual, showing actual actions with their actual results
(error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.- cmccaghrenApr 20, 2019AspirantSorry to not be to your level. So I will give you the exact procedure I did .I took the piece of **bleep** Netgear threw it in the **bleep**ing trash and went and bought a Linksys. Is that detailed enough?

It can take a little effort to get TFTP to work.
