Blinking power light
Hello,
I've recently tried to update the firmware on my router, but it failed to complete and the power light is now blinking green. I tried holding the rest button 30 secs on, 30 secs off and and 30 back on, but nothing has changed. I'm not sure of what firmware I was upgrading from, since the page is no longer available to me without being able to access my netgear wifi connection, however I believe the version I was attempting to update to was V1.2.32_43.0.46. Thank you in advance for your help

Re: Blinking power light
Please post about this here in the router forum for your model router:

Thank you.

You may be a candidate for the TFTP recovery scheme. See, for
example:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1622096
To get the firmware kit, visit http://netgear.com/support , put in
your model number, and look for Downloads. (For older versions, under
Firmware and Software Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".)
Find the kit(s). Download the kit(s) you want. (Normally, then, you'd
read the "Release Notes" file for instructions, but you'll be trying the
TFTP recovery scheme instead of a normal update.) The User Manual for
the device is in that same neighborhood, too (under Documentation).
