The proper procedure should be, at least in my case: “Failed to bind after 5 seconds: bind: The requested address is not valid in its context”. As soon as you see the Advertising NMRP server message, turn the router on.” In my case, if I have the router turned off, I will never see the “Advertising NMRP server” message no matter how long I wait or how many times I try, because it always error out. Then start nmrpflash using the following command. I believe the main confusion came from the instructions “ First of all, turn off the router.

This time I know when to start and what to expect so I can experiment with much higher confidence. After I mastered the timing of nmrpflash through a switch, I went back to directly connecting the ethernet cable to the router and try to see if I can get it working without the switch.
#NETGEAR R8500 REBOOT LOOP UPDATE#
Quick update after a lot of trials and experiments. Received upload request without filename. Received TFTP_UL_REQ while waiting for CONF_REQ! Received configuration request from 50:6a:03:b3:c7:12. The first try always timeout even when the connection is established, but all I have to do is use up arrow to rerun the command immediately after the first error. The most reliable moment for me to start nmrpflash command is when all lights go out, so that the program is advertising when the router starts to respond to the ping.Īlso I found that I always have to try the command twice in order to upload the firmware. Since the router is in a boot loop, there is infinite chances for you to try. I found keeping a separate DOS window open with “ping 192.168.1.1 -t” running pretty handy in helping me to decide on the timing of when to start the nmrpflash command. You might want to consider adding it in your README.

I don’t know why adding a switch made such a big difference or why it only applies to Windows users but apparently enough of other people have found this tip useful. Added a switch between the laptop and the router, BOOM! “Advertising NMRP server on enet…” started. So I decided to give it a try out of desperation. I was about to give up on nmrpflash when I came across this article: openWRT unbricking guide for the R6220, in which it was mentioned **For Windows users, ethernet cable must be connected to a switch or nmrpflash would fail to operate.** I already manually set my computer IP address 192.168.1.10, but still cannot get pass this error. I kept getting the same error “ Failed to bind after 5 seconds: bind: The requested address is not valid in its context” as soon as starting the nmrpflash command.

As recommended I connected my Windows 10 laptop directly to the ethernet port 1 on the router. First of all, THANK YOU for such a great tool!
