MR60 Mesh WiFi 6 Router can't perform factory reset

I can't perform a factory reset on my MR60 router.  The LED is blinking white from the moment I power it up.  I even performed a 30/30/30 and it won't reset.  Any suggestions?

  • I just contacted Netgear support. After troubleshooting, they informed the firmware was corrupted.  I will be returning it for a new one.  Thank you for your help.

    are you able to log into the device? You can factory reset from within its menu's. 

    Are you holding the reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on?

      I can’t log in to the device because there is no internet connection to it. Yes, the power is on when I hold the reset button.

        You don't need an internet connection to log into the device. 

        with it unplugged from the modem, you can connect a pc/laptop to a lan port and should be able to log into it and make changes.
