Hello.

After turning on the power, we get an error in the console, and the boot freezes.

Error:

  • That looks quite a bit like an issue with the flash, it may be corrupted, dying.

    If you are the original owner, that's why you have lifetime warranty on them.
    Contact support on my.netgear.com, they should usually be able to send a replacement
    switch quickly.
