What a fun night. Having tried updating my routers’ firmware and the update fail, I called NETGEAR who were less than helpful with their “We can’t do anything because it’s not under warranty” response.
Hopefully this may help someone else.
Scenario:
After Upgrading the firmware via wireless the routers’ power light constantly flashes red and green.
Solution:
- Download the initial release firmware for your region: http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/d103335.asp
- Connect your router via Ethernet.
- Restart your router.
- Go to: http://www.routerlogin.com/basicsetting.htm (this is your router and is a local connection)
- Upload the firmware, and
- Follow On-screen instructions.
Your old settings should still remain.
You can now update to the latest firmware.
