Bricked Netgear R7800. Tftp not working
Hey, my router(R7800) is in some kind of bootloop. See here: https://imgur.com/a/jCY3vlV
So I'm tyring to install a new firmware using tftp, but the process as described here: https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-a-TFTP-client-o...
Does not work tftpd64 is stuck on block #0 when trying to upload the firmware. It stated in the tutorial that you should wait until the amber light starts blinking but that does not happen(I can make it happen when holding down the reset button but then it only start blinking briefly and tftp still does not work).
What are my options now?

If you have exhausted all normal and recovery options with TFTP and nothing is working, I would presume that the router is not recoverable and needs to be replaced.

Why are you using tftpd64?
Windows might be less complicated.
