to uses tftp/nmrpflash, you have to be hardwired into the router. Watch the video/read the guides. They go over how to use it.
If you can't do that, you can open a support case with netgear.
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.

You got a laptop or desktop computer you can use? Like it was mentioned before it has to be hardwired to one of the four ethernet ports on the back of the router. You'll also need to download the firmware file for your router from the netgear website.
- cwalkApr 10, 2022AspirantThanks.i downloaded updated firmware and used tftp to move it and followed instructions I thought and all it does is still blink a while power light after 45 min..no errors and still just sitting there….one hung every time I hit put the server interface goes back to software loop back and does not stay on the Lan I use…sorry I’m lost on all of this.
