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
try using tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
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
also i dont know how to use the git hub one that one seems too complex for me

That can happen if the firmware file isn't in the right place or your TFTP command is wrong.

What didn't work? The video? TFTP?
TFTP isn't the easiest operation, so if you are forced to use it try a web search for videos that guide you through the process.
Here's an embedded link to the video.
Different device, but the approach is the same.If you have problems, then a complete "printout" of the TFTP session might offer some clues.
sorry its been a while.
so when i try the tftp video i do everthing correct but when i click update i get this message " unabel to get responses from server"
and when i do the cmd ttfp one it gives me this message "tftp: cant read from local file'R7000P-V1.3.2.134_10.1.66.chk' "
so i feel like im doinging soemthing wrong??
