Just flashed the latest firmware. Satelite went well. Router is now stuck in bootup, flashes white forever. Tried factory reset (reset button), goes from green to flashing amber, then eventually back to green, but still no boot. Tried static IP on computer and scanning usual networks, nothing pinging.
Not sure what to try.
In this situation, the only recourse may be TFTP:

Downloaded and trying to make it happen. Any idea what the default IP for the router may be? And also my router actually has a solid green LED, if I press the reset it goes amber then blinks amber and eventually goes back to green. How do I put the router into the correct mode for TFTP?
Thank you for the help.
My understanding is that TFTP is always active on Netgear routers. Did you try 192.168.1.250?
