When I was troubleshooting to find out why I could not connect to the router over Ethernet and only WiFi, I noticed there was no default gateway IP address set when I ran ipconfig in the command prompt. I was going to update the firmware or replace it with Netgear's original firmware to troubleshoot the unstable WiFi as it would keep losing access to the internet every several minutes and thus need a power cycle to work again, and didn't want to flash over WiFi.

I manually set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for the Ethernet connection using Windows' Network Connections IPv4 page where it gives the user the option to allow automatic IP address handling or manually set them. That resulted in me unable to access the router's dd-wrt login page on both WiFi and Ethernet: https://i.imgur.com/esAwRhZ.jpg

There's no default gateway set for either the Ethernet or WiFi now, and when I try to connect using 192.168.1.1, 169.254.160.60, and 169.254.2.147, none of them can get me into the dd-wrt's login page. I tried the 30-30-30 reset two times and no effect.

I don't think the 30-30-30 reset is recommended for Netgear r7000 routers. While I'm no expert, I believe the recommended process is to press the reset button for ~8 seconds while the router is on. See this thread for more details:
