blinking power light R6350

So i purchased this a few months back when buying my house and just got round to setting it up.
Downloaded and followed the app as it recommends, set up my ssid and pass when promoted, then ran firmware update it requested.

Upon finishing the update it now will not function and the app cannot find it.
Only light is a blinking power light.
Factory reset has zero effect.
Cannot access the router via its IP by plugging in my laptop (how ive always configured routers before).
It isnt casting a SSID at all anymore.

In the meantime ive had to put my old router back as i work a lit from home so my fustratio over this is rather high.

The modem before it is a virgin media hub3 with all relevent changes made so it runs soley as a modem. As i say it works fine with other i so i know its not related

Any help would be immensely appreciated

Model: R6300v2|AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit router

   If you have a flashing power indicator, then you may be a candidate
for the TFTP recovery scheme.  See, for example:

   Many people around here might advise you to shun any Netgear-supplied
app, and use a computer with a wired connection when doing a firmware
update.
