Router was working fine for 2 days then it suddenly died: red power led, unable to ping, WiFi network disappeared. Power cycle didn't help. Log after power cycle "capture.txt" is attached.
I was able to recover to stock Netgear firmware XR500-V2.3.2.134 using TFTP method, then I proceeded to flash factory-to-ddwrt.img r49418, but the router boot looped.
After that, I recovered to stock Netgear FW again, then flashed factory-to-ddwrt.img r47618, but I also encountered boot loop. I used the steps from "Netgear R7800 and XR500 Install Guide v43.pdf". Previously, there was no issue following the steps in the guide, but now I can't flash to ddwrt anymore. Serial log "capture-tftp_2.txt" attached.
Now I'm back to stock Netgear FW again. Router is working fine in AP mode.
Not looked at logs but i would check for bad blocks:
telnet access in DumaOS/os
connect with putty Telnet http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm
from cli:
dmesg | grep bad
"dmesg | grep bad"
if that returns nothing it should flash. _________________ Netgear R7800 PPPoE Main Router

Did you try TFTP flashing the factory-to-ddwrt.img file? _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
