So I decided that I wanted to flash back to stock firmware, flashed the newest factory firmware from the R8000 support site. (R8000-V1.0.3.4_1.1.2.chk) (via DD-WRT control panel, with "restore to factory settings" selected.)
Flashed successfully and router rebooted, now I can't connect to the router and have no access to netgear admin panel or internet.
Tried 192.168.1.1 and www.routerlogin.net, wifi (5GHz1 and 2 and 2.4GHz appears on wifi lists on my phone and PC with name "NETGEAR X GHZ".)
All lights light up like normal on the router, port lights on the front of the router light up when I stick a ethernet cable in it. on my PC it has an the exclamation mark and "says no internet"
[Night before]
Left it unplugged over night
(Now it just shows amber power light, and looks to be rebooting constantly w/ LED lights turn on white and shut off after a few seconds leaving the amber led power light.)
Tried resetting with the reset botton.
Tried pinging 192.168.1.1 and comes back with "general hardware failure"
What are the next steps I should take?
Thanks in advance
Don't know if you still have this prob...
I had a similar prob like yours! What I did was the night before I also unplugged it over night and the next morning plugged it back in and samething happened as you, so I unplugged the cable modem then plugged it back in and resetted the router through the button on the back and started to work again!! lol I was actually considering buying a new AC router if that didn't work!! lol
