    NETGEAR R7500 Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Router

    Hi Bob, Certainly. When I do a 30/30/30 reset, with the router plugged in and operating normally I hold the reset button in for 30 seconds, then unplug it for the 30 seconds while still holding the reset button in. Then I plug the router back in (while still depressing the reset button) for...

    It's been a while since I posted in this forum. About a month ago I was ready to mothball my R7500 due to a soft bricking of which was my own dumb fault. In short when I flashed it with OpenWRT I had all sorts of problems. Anyway, I sat down and did a multitude of 30/30/30 resets and then...
