6260 updated firmware to R6260_V1.1.0.78_1.0.1, Router now a brick
Had a R6260, setup for auto updates on firmware. At end of "update" router now doesnt work. Power button blinks.
Tried with a second router.
Router worked fine. Ran firmware update 1.1.0.78_1.0.1. Now this router doesn't work either. Two bricks.
Tried 30:30:30. Tried manual upload. Tried TFTP. Nada.
WTF Netgear? Really? Should not be this difficult. I used to like Netgear products, will try a different manufacturer now...

Not a useful description of what you did, or what happened when you
did it.
The TFTP recovery scheme is a multi-step procedure which offers
multiple opportunities for user input, hence user error. By itself,
saying that you "Tried" it doesn't say much. As usual, showing actual
actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations. Especially when using a command-line program,
copy+paste is your friend.
