R6120 Firmware Update

How do I update my firmware without wireless internet? My firmware was updating when my router lost power. Now I can't access the interent to complete the firmware installation and the power light is continuously blinking. Can I hook my router up to my laptop that's connected to another network and do it that way? Thanks for any help!

Please visit and post about this here for your model router:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers-Non/bd-p/home-wifi-routers-general

 

You can download FW files to a PC then install them while off line from the PC. 

 

Good Luck.

That's where I have tried to download from but when I go to open the files, I get a "disc image file is corrupted" message. Any idea what that means? Thanks!
