Well got email from netgear saying there is new firmware out so I went to router said update avialible and i did it frozed in the middle of the update. So the ui is gone does not any router function availible just a flashing power light. The ethernet function enough to try fail about half way for flashing with the two latest firmware. It has been rebooting about twice a day why I flashed in the first place.

What, exactly, does "put files on it" mean to you? As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
Not a very detailed description of a multi-step process with many variables.

_Which_ "the tftp app"? I'd try the (command-line) TFTP client program wich comes with your (unspecified) computer OS, rather than any third-party program.
I had the same experience with the firmware upgrade failing midway. I was able to get the new firmware in via the tftp approach - not easy - however, now the router is losing connectivity each day. The wifi is visible but you cannot connect and hardwire connections fail too. Basically the router stops working. A reboot gets it working again, but who wants to reboot their router every day? Router was working just fine until this latest update. Netgear, please look into this firmware update. It's got bugs.

Is it "losing connectivity" with your (unspecified) ISP/modem, or with your client devices, or what? LED indicators? If you want to pursue _your_ (different-hardware?, different-firmware?) problem, then it would make sense to do it in your own, new thread. (Where a more detailed description than "Basically the router stops working" might be helpful.)

I can't remember seeing any bug-free Netgear router firmware.

I would leave the file name exactly as it was when you extracted it from the .zip archive.

I'd expect a clear, complete, plain-text description of your actual commands and their actual results (error messages, ...) to be at least as helpful. Copy+paste is your friend.

Performed tftp transfer. Transfer successful according to the cmd line. Still just getting flashing power light. Has anyone had any success getting the router to come back to working order?
