When updating the firmware the router did not restart and the on/of lamp was just blinking. I couldn`t get contact with the router and i just tried to turn it on and of.

sounds like you ran into a corrupt firmware issue. You can try recovering it via tftp

 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 recommend to upgrade firmware over hardwired connections and not using the app or wifi.

Hi!
Tanks a lot for your answare!
Do you also have a recipe to do this from a Windows 7 PC ..?

instructions should be pretty much the same other than enabling it within windows.
