Can't access router's admin UI afterupdating from 1.3.1.26 to 1.3.1.44
Updated from 1.3.1.26 to 1.3.1.44 .. I did not reset / reboot .. just ran the update which said it should take 2 minutes .. 10 minutes later after the firmware update icon was still spinning I figure...

I'd cycle the power, and see what happens.
> [...] I'm not sure its safe to reboot it and I dont want to brick it.
What real choice do you have?

michaelkenward .. OK, you are right .. lets look at this ..
.. the LEDs were as one would have expected .. and according the manual .. "Solid white. The router is ready." .. and indeed it was behaving "ready" by in fact operating normally otherwise, and letting me "still get around on on the web"
Other than this .. the only thing out of place was the the internal web server (not the device in general, or the firware upgrade) was hung. I've seen nothing in the manual for LEDs indicating the status of the internal web server. I comprehend that, according to the manual if the power LED was "Blinking amber." it means "The firmware is upgrading" ... but since it was not I concluded that the firmware upgrade process was not hung.
Therefore as I said, only .. and specifically .. the internal web server was hung.

What is this "internal web server"?
The last time I looked at my R7000P it didn't have one of those.

Presumably, the router's management web server.

I'd bet that it does, except when using a peculiarly eccentric
definition of "web server".
Back in the real world...
Sadly, you are dealing with a fellow who seems to believe (adamantly)
that a web site or a web server is only a web site or a web server if
it's _not_ in your router. For example:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1466400
https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1373383
[and so on, and on, and on, ...]
As you can see, attempts at rational persuasion have, so far, been
unsuccessful.
