Hello,
If you still have not resolved your issue and if you still have your router, try this.
I was following the TFTP guide with the Netgear client: https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-client
after step 5 I did the 30/30/30 factory reset. First I held the reset button until the power LED was blinking 30 times. Afterwards, when still holding the reset button pressed, I disconnected the power cable and waited 30 seconds. Finally when still holding the reset button pressed, I connected the power cable back. Now the power LED was red and I still held the reset button until the power LED was blinking 30 times. When I released the reset button, the power LED was blinking by itself, and I proceeded from step 8 in the TFTP guide.
The router is working fine now, hope this helps you or someone else in need.
I have had the same problem with my RBR50.I tried everything :30/30/30 reset, TFTP client...nothing worked. I noticed one thing :
Every time I pushed the reset button with the pin and connected the power, the power LED turn solid green,then solid red( which means the firmware is corrupted) and flashing red 7 times and solid green after that.
Does it mean my RBR50 totally bricked ?
Any suggests?
I would contact NG support to see what your options are.
