This is for a Netgear Nighthawk X6s R8000p that appears to be in some type of boot loop
I have attempted the TFTP method via CMD and am also getting the Connect request failed error. This is for a Netgear Nighthawk X6s R8000p that appears to be in some type of boot loop.
The amber power light never does blink as stated in the documentation. https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
Is there any hop to recover this router or is it bricked? any suggestions welcome.

Does a 30-30-30 reset change anything?
Try using NMRPFlash?

If any of this all fails, router would need to be replaced.
