Re: R7450 firm update no wifi now
Sounds like the firmware got corrupted upon it trying to install it. Try using the tftp method to unbrick it. There's several videos on youtube on how to unbrick a router. You'll need to download the tftp2.exe program. Follow the instructions from the youtube videos and let us know if it works.

Re: R7450 firm update no wifi now
You can try recovering 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

if that doesn't work and you bought it in january, then you should be in your warranty period if you bought it new.

Re: R7450 firm update no wifi now
to uses tftp/nmrpflash, you have to be hardwired into the router. Watch the video/read the guides. They go over how to use it.
If you can't do that, you can open a support case with netgear.

You got a laptop or desktop computer you can use? Like it was mentioned before it has to be hardwired to one of the four ethernet ports on the back of the router. You'll also need to download the firmware file for your router from the netgear website.

Re: R7450 firm update no wifi now
did you buy it from a reseller on amazon or through the market place and not the netgear store on amazon?
If so, then it is correct. Your warranty is only through authorized sellers.
Buying it from a reseller/3rd party on amazon is the same as buying it off ebay or facebook marketplace.
