Thanks for keeping us informed, I don't consider myself a newbie even it comes to computers, I have owned computers, routers, etc for more than 20 years and i tried everything even the ftp upload without success, hopefully Netgear can figure something out because i really like the router otherwise
They tried tftp method, it didn’t work either. We weren’t able to put the router in tftp mode itself.
I bought this router from costco. Model is R7960p.
If anyone wants to try tftp method link is below. I Wasted almost 8hours.
Please take a back of all your configs before you start.
