Ok, I took a picture of how the network setup should look like in the test menu. Tenpo router doesn’t matter as I have been told that it’s only used for the Japanese ALL.NET server. for better pictures, go here:https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/recently-acquired-a-broken-es3-let’s-try-to-“rebuild”-it.22118/page-2

A friend that goes by the name “EYEDOL” helped me setup the router. It was a bit tricky as the netgear utility is pretty vague but I did get it working in the end. The info was basically the same as your instructions I’ll update this post with a picture of how the network page is suppose to look from the test menu , haven’t seen any pictures of it and it would be extremely helpful.

I have tried the TP files and they didn’t work, they gave a “system error” notification. Not sure why though. Other than that, the dumped files I got run fine, LAN also works. Tried it last night thanks to a friend. edit: turns out system error was a dongle related error. I do have an original TER usb dongle and when I tested the TP files again, it booted just fine. I guess the other .exe files I got have the dongle protection removed.

The dumped files will work on real hardware but you have to get the unmodified files. The ones online have the .exe modified for TP and JC. You’ll end up getting a system error. The files are out there, you just have to look for them.
