Netgear extender 'stuck' with orange and blue lights on
My EV6250 extender seems to be 'stuck' with both sets of orange and blue lights on. Repeated restarts and attempted factory resets have done nothing. It doesn't show up in available networks either s...
The EX6250 has a ethernet port. Are you able to ping the extender or access it using the ethernet connection?
Which lights are "stuck on orange/blue"? (there's several led's on it)
What is the power light doing?
If a factory reset, (push and hold reset for up to 30 seconds while powered on) doesn't work, then you can try recoving it.
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.
