It's a Netgear R6300. I tried power cycling, it does not respond to ping. I am trying to flash the firmware using TFTP now but I am getting timeouts.
I assume it is a v1?
You can try nmrpflash, instructions can be found in the R6400v2 guide see my signature
Yes, it is a V1. Thank you, I was able to get my router back into a working state. I made the following observations:
nmrpflash needs to be started immediately after powering the router on. Once ping responses start coming in, it is too late.
nmrpflash only seems to work with .chk files. .bin files do get uploaded, but upon waiting for router response TFTP_UL_REQ error appears.
Flashing 50927 .chk did not result in a working router, so it was not a bad flash it seems
Reverting to 50671 got me back to a working state.
Given the timing issues with nmrpflash, it would be interesting to know whether tftp would work as well if started earlier. I was only starting it after the ping responses started coming in.
Would it make sense to check which of the six builds since 10-26-2022-r50671 is the first broken one? Or is it unlikely to provide enough information without a full bisect and/or serial console log? I have the UART dongle for odroid-xu4, but the connector on the R6300 are likely not the same, right?

Previous/Reset: OEM 1.0.01 build 6 Apr. 15, 2010 / yes, several
Mode/Status: Repeater Bridge on wl0 2GHz Mixed; AP on wl1 5GHz Mixed + OVPN and WG Client
Issues/Errors: Took several power cycles, resets both back button and gui, but got it to take. Main thing is to give it lots of time even when gui does not look like loading when switch tabs, give it time, after I did that, then all gui tabs work and up and running.
This was direct from Factory OEM to ddwrt.
