[pePaolo]

Hi there, this is Paolo, I have a Netgear pr2000 trek bricked by wrong firmware, green power led working, green internet led working, green usb led blinking, sometimes green wifi led blinking.

ipv4 manual ethernet 192.168.1.1 no response, no ping fron cmd line...

Someone can help me on this issue?

Thanks

Elaine, Many thanks for your answer. I unsuccessfully tried many times this guide...

1. Unplug all port connections from router except the PC you are using to upload.
2. Turn router OFF for 10 seconds.
3. Hold down the reset button on the back of router with a paper clip.
4. Power ON the router while holding down the reset button.
5. Watch the Power LED. It starts with orange color, and then will start flashing orange.
6. Power LED will then turn to flashing green. Count at least 10 flashing green LED and release the reset button.
7. Click Upgrade button on the tftp2 utility to do firmware upgrade

Is it good for any netgear router? The pr2000 trek has no orange led, but 4 green leds, and if I try tftp2 it goes in timeout.

and if I keep pushing reset and turn on the power of the pr2000 the usb green led starts blinking, but again tftp2 goes in timeout.

Nobody else with the same issue?

If it can't be restored then it's totally bricked.
