Sounds like the firmware got corrupted upon it trying to install it. Try using the tftp method to unbrick it. There's several videos on youtube on how to unbrick a router. You'll need to download the tftp2.exe program. Follow the instructions from the youtube videos and let us know if it works.

Thanks for info but if I have no internet I can’t get on my computer.
Can I use my iPhone? Sorry just not tech savvy.

It could be a hardware failure. You can contact support to start the rma process.
To get a hold of support. Click on "MyNetgear" at the top.
Register an account (or login) and then the device.
From there you can start the support process. Keep in mind that its only free for the first 90 days. If its a hardware failure, then it shouldn't cost anything.- cwalkApr 11, 2022AspirantThank you. I did and even though it has a few months of warranty (not service) they tell me to purchase a service agreement and it costs way to much when it won’t accept a fix when it was their update that crashed it. This router is only 8 months old.
