You tried pushing and holding reset for 7-15 seconds?
You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
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.

Sorry for the delay. It took me a long time to get a computer working that had both an ethernet port AND that I could get admin access to so I could enable tftp. I finally got that all working, but I'm not able to push the firmware update. I get a connection error. Through the process the lights on the nic on my laptop light up, but I still haven't seen any lights on the ethernet or internet ports of the router light up.
