R6700v2 bricked after firmware version 1.2.0.90
Hi,
My router bricked during an update. Firmware corrupted when rebooting- it's had a power issue where it'l not boot up after power outage. had forgot about this and realised too late.
Have tried windows tftp using https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP. This doesn't work.
Trying to use nmrpflash but getting nowhere. Have the exact same issue as this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R6700-bricked-after-firmware-version-1-2-0-72/m-p/1961498#M166245 where when i turn the device on it'l stay at a solid amber/orange on the power LED. Pressing reset button will have it flashing white on the power led. Using this guide https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash.
Please help.

If tftp and nmrpflash don't work, you might have bricked it past the point of no return
. You can try using a serial port to connect to it but you won't find the instructions on here for it.
Ok. Coz it brings error "Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the device specified. (20)."
