Router AC 1750 R6700v3 Power LED Flashing

Possible firmware corruption during update when internet connection was lost. No other LEDs are on and no devices can locate the Router

Hopefully a lesson learned.  Experienced Netgear users prefer to perform a manual firmware update using an Ethernet connected computer with a web browser.  No internet connection required.

There are some YouTube videos on this subject.  Not specific step by step, but general overall process.

 

My setup: Xfinity -> Netgear CM2050V -> Netgear R9000 (Voxel V1.0.4.71.1HF)
