Re: Nighthawk 2400 stopped working
power/connection failures during firmware updates can corrupt the firmware.
You can try factory resetting by pushing and holding reset for up to 30 seconds while its powered on.
If that doesn't help, 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

Re: Nighthawk 2400 stopped working
Tp-link is a pretty solid company. but if your power fails during a firmware update, it'll have the same issues the netgear does.
The routers do have a 12 month warranty if the hardware fails. You can try contacting them again. They'll usually refund the support fee if they can't get it working. If they can get it working, then it wasn't a hardware failure.
Or try selling it as a bricked router to recoup some of your $. or offer it on some of the 3rd party firmware sites. Some use them for test routers to see if they can fix them/port 3rd party firmware to them.
