All Lights Flashing LEDs, Cannot connect when upgrading firmware

[cyin]

Couple of days ago all the LED lights in the front were blinking white (similar to https://community.netgear.com/t5/WiFi-Range-Extenders-Nighthawk/EX8000-Bricked-Flashing-white-lights...) and the back LED is flashing green.

I tried flashing the firmware onto it using a static IP address and the TFTP scheme reset, but the connection request fails in my terminal (and just hangs when I install the client). I've set my static IP to 192.168.1.10 and am trying to send the file to 192.168.1.51 (the default IP address I believe).

When I plug my laptop into it via Ethernet and try to ping its IP address (192.168.1.51) from a static IP, I get no packets back / host is unreachable.

Is this a sign that my router is completely bricked? Is it possible the extender might be under a different IP?

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

and here's a video walk through.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

I'd highly recommend the video as its a walk through flashing an extender. Its not the EX8000 but it'd be the same procedure.
