Ran latest Firmware Update on router. As the progress bar was reaching it's end, I received a message that an error had occurred. Since then, router is not giving off any wireless signal. Attempted resetting by turning on/off router and modem. Attempted Factory Reset, but router showed no change after holding for 7 seconds.
Not sure how to proceed.
Solved! Go to Solution.

What do the LED indicators indicate?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for
"Troubleshoot".

If you have the typical flashing Power indicator, then you may be a
candidate for the TFTP recovery scheme. See, for example:

Re: Firmware Update Gone Wrong R700 AC1900
are you still able to log into the router via ethernet? If so you can go through the settings Advanced->administrative->backup->Erase and see if that helps.
Or you can downgrade the latest firmware. The R7000 .64 firmware has been having wireless issues. I think the .42 firmware's been getting the most positive reviews on the forums.

Attempted to connect to the internet through an ethernet cable, but received the error "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP Configuration.
To try and fix it:
Reset Winstock Protocol & TCP/IP Settings
Cleaned up all the Network Cached Files
Rebooted Router & Modem
No improvement.

Try 30 seconds.
The state of the power LED is a key indicator when a firmware flash fails.
If it is solid white, great, anything else is a cause for concern. It means that the firmware is corrupt.
