R7450 Power light blinking after
I was trying to update the firmware on my router and my ISP signal dropped in the middle of it. Now I have that blinking white power light. I have tried the TFTP, but I do not get the pop up box that is described in the directions. I have attached a photo of what my screen looks like after I have followed the steps.

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 here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

it has instructions on it that walk you through pretty much the whole thing as well as troubleshooting. where are you failing in the process?
