slicooper Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 All, Recently moved and migrated from Spectrum service to FIOS service. Tried to use my XR500 as the router with FIOS and noticed that I had a flashing white power LED. Upon further investigation, turns out the firmware might be bricked. Here's the rub - I tried to reflash the XR500 using TFTPD64 with some directions circa 2020 (specifically this video https://youtu.be/_OYNEZuyId0) but to no avail. Per the directions, I've even been UNABLE to ping the router as it's giving me GENERAL FAILURE via the cmd line. I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do... Any tips, tricks, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know what you need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 5 Administrators Share Posted September 5 How did you determine the firmware was faulty apart from the LED? Did you try to access the interface? Try TFTP using the instructions from here https://forum.netduma.com/topic/54949-dumaos-is-not-running/?do=findComment&comment=407569 slicooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicooper Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 I've tried to access the interface on my laptop and I wasn't able to get into 192.168.1.1 (nor could I ping it, which I found weird). Not sure if it is some weird windows 11 setting on this predator laptop that prevents me from doing so, but it may also prevent me from accessing the interface. Will try your instructions and let you know, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - as requested, somehow the TFTP worked and my router was finally showing solid white on the power & that the 2.5/5Ghz were up. Hooray! I left to drink some beer and walk the dog and it seemed like that, magically, fixed it while the NMRP was running. Got into the interface / did setup. All is well...except now on my desktops I cannot log into the default IP anymore 192.168.1.1 and get this error - any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 7 Administrators Share Posted September 7 It might be that it changed to avoid a conflict and uses 10.0.0.1 now instead, does that work? Alternatively does routerlogin.net work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
