ZyXEL NBG-418N V2 - bricked

Hi , I have a ZyXEL NBG-418N V2 and for one year was good , after that it started to disconnect by it self from the internet causing the loss of the wireless , I had to reboot the device everytime it did that , at some point was so frequently that is just put it somewhere for over a year or so ... I'm using my old wireless router but it's an old one ... and doesn't have the speed that I need so I downloaded the firmware update for th ZyXEL router ( V1.00(AARP.9).C0.bin I upload it to the router I waited the 60 sec and more but now the router doesn't do anything , I power up the router and the first light ( power ) is on the wifi it's not and the 3rd light ( the 'world' light ) is on but I can't connect to the wireless and if I plug in a cable between the router and laptop it doesn't have ping or anything ... WHY , WHAT THE HELL IS wrong with this router ..... ?!?!?!

7. Wait for around one minute (only power LED is on). When WAN LED is flashing, the firmware upgrade is successful.
8. Click on “stop” button or close the tool to stop the traffic transmission to NBG418Nv2 (don‘t miss this step).
9. Reboot (power off and power on) NBG418Nv2.
If all of ways did not help, you may need to contact your local ZYXEL support.
Did you try to reset NBG418Nv2? What is your network topology?
And NBG418Nv2 default LAN IP is 192.168.1.1, then your laptop IP would be 192.168.1.X (DHCP).
What do you mean "tftp client = block #0 ..."?
Does 192.168.1.33 as DHCP or static IP?
Can you share the screenshot of your laptop IP address information?
Any screenshots?
