WAX206 Access Point is Bricked and Showing No Signs of Life, Can I Revive It With UART?
My WAX206 router is showing no signs of life (no flashing lights) and I want to know if it is possible to revive it using the UART recovery method.
Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Serial port soldering points are on the back side of the PCB, see https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wax206

Hello OrangeJulius,
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
I will strongly suggest to open a case for Netgear support to process an RMA for your device if its already faulty. You can prepare the proof of purchase and one of the support agent will be able to assist you processing your replacement.
Have a lovely day,
