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?
I have verified that it pings back on 192.168.1.1 for about 30 seconds if I hold down the reset button on power up, then the led starts green and goes solid red. It will ping back as alive, but I can't get any ports to ping(including 69), and then about 30 seconds later the led goes solid green and it won't ping back as alive anymore. 192.168.1.250 doesn't seem to ping at all. I have tried to tftp while the led is red and it is alive but no action and then goes back to green and offline. Throughout all of this the top light is slowly flashing white.
I think it's supposed to be listening when the LED is green, not red. Responding to ICMP (ping) may not be an indication of "alive" in the sense of listening for TFTP. Maybe it's time to post in Voxel's forum:
