have tried to update the router firmware via app

I have tried to update the router firmware via app (hello, their app corrupts the router!) and now no wifi network can be found to connect to the internet.

ethernet cable connected directly to my macbook provides me with the internet. But I need wifi obviously.

I have tried to use this TFTP method https://kb.netgear.com/000064624/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-on-Apple-m...

but when it comes to the Terminal after I dragged the folder with the updates the Terminal says 

No such file or directory

that's it, I'm stuck! I have no idea what to do! please heeelp!

@njks have you started your own thread or just jumped on someone else's?

Sorry, I thought to share it in the existing thread as I have exactly the same issue as the person above. But the solution did not work well for me.
