Router seems to be stuck in boot loop

[Derekowumi]

I got home and tried to connect to the network and the network wasn’t there just for me to go to the router and it seems to be stuck trying to boot up any help?

You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.  

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 using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

Seems to be stuck in a boot loop...

What's actually happening? 

What are the led's doing? 

What have you tried to fix it? 

have you tried pushing and holding reset for up to 30 seconds while its powered on?

have held the reset button for 30/30/30 no avaIl

i tried tftp couldn't manage to ping the router.
