Router light blinking green

I factory reset and have tried manually installing the download firmware. But I have a chromebook and not a windows laptop, therefore the softwares aren’t compatible. Is there anyway for me to do this on a chromebook?

       "tried" _how_, exactly?  What, exactly, did you download?  What,
    exactly, did you do with it?  Did you read the instructions in the
    Release Notes which are provided with the firmware image file?

       _What_ "the softwares"?

       Have you a web browser on your (unspecified) "a chromebook"?

     

       Did you consider trying this radical concept (which works for some
    people):

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
    "Update the Firmware".  Further reading might not hurt, either.
