Mesh Mr60 router doesn't work and cannot be updated with the firmware

[petercreate]

Hi,

I've tried reset and other reset methods I can find. Also, I tried the method introduced here, https://kb.netgear.com/000064624/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-on-Apple-m... . The last msg on the terminal is "Transfer timed out". I tried it times and get the same result.

It seems that the new firmware cannot be uploaded to the router.

Regards, Peter

I posted the information from the Mac OS terminal here,

Glad you got it figured out 🙂

Might mark it solved so others aren't still trying to fix it

[plemans]

what firmware version are you on? 

Is the router working and it just won't update its firmware?

Hi Plemans, thank you for your reply. It's working well now after a successful updating the firmware. Previously I connected the router via its Internet sock instead of the Ethernet sock, which was the reason the updating didn't work.

Thank you. Don't know where to mark it, just sending a kudo with your message.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
