Re: Firmware update error night hawk mesh 6

What router do you have? Mesh 6 isn't a model number

What light is flashing red? 

Did you try a factory reset? (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on)

 

if that doesn't work, you can try tftp/nmrpflash. 

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just make sure you enable tftp
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

Re: Firmware update error night hawk mesh 6

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk MESH products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH MESH products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.

Thank you.
