Hi,
Thank you for your response.
1. I'm unable to ping it and the PC doesn't even detect that the router is connected over LAN (with static IP). The network adapter status remains "cable disconnected" as if nothing is plugged.
2. Again, device is not even detected by PC. tried it with different systems and OSes but no luck.
3. Yes, except the green indicator no other lights are there.
My device is still under hardware warranty, however, the hardware support page of Netgear is also down. Gives "Error 500 - Oops! Something went wrong on our end." So even unable to submit a request for replacement.
