Solid amber power light R7000
Hi people, I plugged in my R7000 after not using it for a while and I’m assuming it was updating in the background when I turned it off. Now when I switch it on all I get is a solid amber power light. I’ve tried reset button and it does nothing, I’ve tried 30/30/30 and I’ve tried TFTP and all I get is connect request failed. when sending a ping via CMD I get either destination host unreachable. Im hoping the router can be saved any advice would be much appreciated.

Re: Solid amber power light R7000
Tftp can take a few attempts and requires certain timings. I recommend trying it a few times. And if it doesn't work, the only other thing I recommend is using 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: Solid amber power light R7000
Also when you plug the router on, click on the reset button for like 20-30 seconds and see if the power light turns white and then try tftp to upload software at that point. If it doesn't turn white just run the tftp again. That amber light can also mean that the power adapter is bad so try another power adapter.
