Re: 5025895M005FE

sounds like you might have corrupted the firmware during the update. 

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 

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10

 

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

You don't have to be good with computers. The guides walk you through each step of the process. 

There's even a video example of how to do it.

Re: 5025895M005FE

what error does it give you? 

What type of device are you using? 

did you flash with tftp or nmrpflash? 

If tftp, did you enable it within windows?

No error code just stops after flashing
Just over half way on the progress bar
I’m using a window 10 laptop and have enabled tftp trying to re flash a netgear X6S extender
