R7000p stopped working
so a little context, got this used so its not orginal. i dont have the box it came with nor any of the manuals.
So i was playing video games and i noticed that my internet was slow and it wasnt connecting to the servers well so i went to the app to see if I could fix it and i saw that there was an update for my router so i updated it over the app. it couldnt even finish the update, just killed its self, I guess? ive been trying to read fourms, youtube videos to figure out what is wrong. im not sure if it got bricked or not.
Symptoms, power button blinking orange and ethernet not working at all.
Solutions ive tried: Turning it on and off again, tried to reset it by holding the button on the back.
I dont know if im screwed or not. I would like the help
HOLY COW!!! IT FIXED IT!!!!
So this is how i ended up doing it
i took the downloaded file and moved it from my actual desktop to ThisPC> Local Disk (C:)> users> CarlJ> Desktop. and plased it there.
from there i followed this link https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
and from there i followed the instructions and it flipping worked.
I just wanna say thank you guys so much for the help!! stay safe with Coiv-19

thanks for the reply
i tried all the steps on (https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP)
1) but couldt make it past step 12 it said that it 'could not read from local file'. im not sure what to do after that?
2) I also tried the video and I couldnt make it work unless im missing something. i dont know if i need to input a password or what else.
i also enabled tftp
