NG Nhawk R6700 AC1750
Please help. I have NG NHawk 6700 AC1750 and I just tried to do the firmware update today 9/13 and the update would not complete and got errorrs and then I just lost all conectivity and it appearrs like i am locked out of the router, I can not do anythingg and there is no internet at all. There is only one light, the orange power just blinking. I have tried to unplug and reboot everytthing to no avail. I should have never done this update, can someone help me with this?
sounds like you might have corrupted the firmware. in the future, i'd recommend not using the app to update with. I'd use a hardwired computer.
for the present, you can try recovering it using tftp.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through.

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

A web browser is not really part of the TFTP recovery scheme.
If you have trouble, then it'd probably be better to start your own
thread with your own details.
