NIghthawk Extender - Blinking Red Power Light

I unplugged my router as I wanted to change its location.

 

Now when I plug it in the rear power light turns from Green to Red(Blinking)

 

And all the front White lights are blinking.

 

Tried the reset button,  but nothing.

 

HELP PLEASE!

I notified a moderator to move it. in the meantime, 

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

What Server and Password do I enter into the software?

Yes, this is when launching tftp.

there is no server/password during tftp install. 

so either you didn't watch the video or read the instructional or you're doing something wrong.
