Hi velvetwood,
1. Are you referring to the Internet light (planet symbol)?
2. Please make sure that you are able to go online straight from the modem (ISP's device).
3. You can try MAC spoofing. Check the link below for the steps.

Have tried static ip and tftp and command prompt tftp put, cannot ping the router, seems like zero communication between the router.
Does it not seem fishy that all of our routers were bricked within a month of each other? I bet there are many more people who arn't on this forum with the same problem.
Dear Boys & Girls:
Thanks for all your help. After what I considered an acceptable amount of unpaid time and effort attempting to resurrect my Netgear R6400 router, I have sold it for salvage value and sent it on to a more able and / or a more patient techno-savant for possible restoration. I myself have evolved on to another brand of router that has been serving me well for these many weeks since Netgear router burpus-interuptus. It would have been fortunate if Netgear tech staff were able to have contacted me and instructed me to forward on my inactive router at my cost and with a prepaid return label, for a likely minimal-time restoration back to factory settings service….. Alas, such matters did not happen and I have now moved on to more prosperous fields…..
Fare thee well oh Netgear router-dom.
Cheers amigos !
