I tried installing 3.0 beta firmware on my XR500 with the link provided in this community forum, and my screen went white, i waited a few minutes , tried to load the www.routerlogin.net and received a "missing JSON" error message. my router is now blinking white power LED, and eth port 3 and 4 are also blinking white. i tried 7second factory reset.nothing. i tried a 30/30/30 reset. nothing.

R.I.P.? halp please. i didnt mean to lose jason he seems lik ea nice guy.

You can try recoving it with tftp or 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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

went back to my router today and it seem sto have fixed itself. it reverted back to non beta firmware.

kinda disapointed i didnt get to try the method above seemed interesting.

i potentially used an old .img file for the beta?

Could someone link me most updated 3.0 Beta for xr500 please?

Thanks
