nighthawk x8 ac5300 Not Boot

[Voltsz]

Hy,

 yestarday my WiFi had a problem to boot. The poweron led stuck in amber light. I surfed over the forum, see that maybe there are problem on the firmware and I tried to reload firmware but did not success.

Before to throw away the router, there is a way to get it working again?

thanks

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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
