Have you ever uploaded firmware to a router using tftp?I am having trouble with uploading firmware and logging into a NetgearNighthawk AC1900 Model R7000 router over Ethernet on Windows 10 using Firefox (version 109.0.1) so I tried 'tftp' but I need to ask for help. first thing I did was press the factory reset button for 7 seconds which is supposed to make the router go back to its initial conditions. second thing I did (while I was still on the Internet) was downloadand extract the latest firmware which is the router is 192.168.1.1, I then set Windows 10 to 192.168.1.x via the administrator command line after looking up how to do that. ipconfig /all (The rj45 output is "Ethernet.") netsh interface ip show interface (The rj45 output is "Ethernet.") netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet" static 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.1 then rebooted the router, waited a minute, and pinged it from Windows. ping 192.168.1.1At this point I tried and failed to log into http://192.168.1.1 usingFirefox 109.0.1 so I looked up how to enable tftp on Windows 10. I looked up the exact commands for using the Windows 10 tftpclient in the command line to upload the Netgear chk firmware. tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put But after a while (couple of minutes) it reported a failure error.'s no log information so I looked for maybe a better tftp client.This Netgear article seems to be suggesting the free Tftpd64 client. you ever uploaded firmware using a Windows tftp client?Is that tftpd64 client the one that you suggest I try next?

Start : Run : Control Programs and Features Windows Features Tick the "TFTP Client" box, then waitI can see that on Windows 11 Home, and Win10 Pro.That will download and install a tftp for you.And, it will come from Microsoft and be trusted,because the package will be signed with SHA2. Paul

Is there a good tftp client for Microsoft Windows to log into a router?

Ok.

Yes, the client can "put" a file on the tftp server, or get a file. The server doesn't initiate anything.

Thank you. That explains the problems getting a log in page to my TP-Link AC1200 (Archer VR 400) router with Pale Moon. Sometimes the log in page won't show & other times it takes several minutes. Other browsers work fine.
