[SOLVED] Unbrick Netgear R7000

[XshulderX]

I'm trying to unbrick my R7000 router, but I haven't been able to make it work.

I've run through this guide: https://www.myopenrouter.com/articl...-netgear-r7000-r6300v2-or-r6250-wi-fi-routers and so one it has worked great...

Now I thought I should start on the easy part, but I haven't been so lucky...

When running CMD tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put [firmware.chk] then I get the error connect request failed.


- I've enabled tftp client in windows 10 and tried both with static IP and DNS values and automatics.


What should I try next?

Which "unbrick" link did you actually use?

The linked guide you provided or did you go to the other Windows link provided therein?

E.g.:

https://www.myopenrouter.com/article/how-debrick-your-netgear-wnr3500l-using-usb-ttl-cable-windows

Asking because I see different syntax being used.

From the second link the command is

tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put FIRMWARE_FILE.chk

Also where did you get the USB-TTL cable? Putty, actual firmware file?

Without checking any of the links provided:

The first thing to try before "tftp" is "ping 192.168.1.1", and for this to work, your wired Ethernet' NIC should be set to static IP like 192.168.1.10.
