If you managed to force the wrong firmware on to the router, you may have bust it.

 

The router usually stops you from doing that.

 

What dies he power LED look like?

 

As @Kitsap suggests, a manual update is the safest.

Off with the cap-lock key, no need to shout.  Go to the Downloads section above and feed in the model number of your router.

 

The result takes you here:  https://www.netgear.com/support/download/?model=R6400v2

 

Strongly recommend your use a manual update method like described here:  https://kb.netgear.com/23960/How-do-I-manually-update-the-firmware-on-my-NETGEAR-router

 

Avoid automatic updates or updates via an application on a mobile device.

Glad it worked.

 

Which bit worked for you?

 

Mark that as SOLVED and you could help someone else who turns up here with the same question.
