Was updating the firmware on my netgear DG834N and it failed, now flashes red and green power light and does nothing, can I save it ?

Tried resetting it and all that jazz, also looked for 'recovery' software, doesnt seem to be any....

Any more ideas?

In Vista 64, set the ramdrv program compatiability to Windows XP (right click, compatiabiltiy options), same with the actual Netgear program (UpgradeWizard.exe).

When it works properly it will take time for the progress bar to move and as far as I know it works in 3 steps, and it will notify you when it moves onto the next step.

hmmm tried that no luck, also set it to run as administrator level, says same thing :mad:
