Hi,

 

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I tried many times to do a factory reset. Followed 30/30/30 and I was not able to reset. 

 

Then, I tired tftp. I followed everyting that the youtube showed. However, the tftp failed with error saying unable to connect the device. Looks like I can't make the device to connect no matter what I do. 

 

Is there any other suggestion?

 

Thanks in advance.

tftp is sensitive to timings. I'd try it a couple times at different times as theres a narrow window in which to execute. 

I'd also try the nmrpflash. I've had success with that when tftp wouldn't work.

    Nothing works, I am about to accept this $200 box is now a piece of Brick and will throw it to trash. Unless anyone have any suggestion. Not buying any Netgear product anymore.
