The tftp isn't working because the R8000 is cycling. I tried running a ping in a separate cmd window so I could time the tftp as soon as I see it reply but it stops replying before the transfer finishes and I get a "Connect request failed"

    I can't get nmrpflash to work on my Mac. I downloaded nmrpflash-master.zip extracted it and there is no nmrpflash in the directory to sudo run?

    I I downloaded the NPcap and installed to get rid of the missing dll error. The nmrpflash -L only displays my eth and wifi mac addresses. The ping response isn't long enough for me to get the net# for the router?

      You don't need a net# for the router. did you scroll down and read through how to use it?

        Sorry I miss understood. I followed the instructions and received an error "Timeout while waiting". I had the router off, started the nmrpflash and immediately turn it on when the waiting for connection appeared. Image file attached of error.
