You can try recoving 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
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
Well neither one worked i tried the tftp an i did everything he said an did even watched another video that didn't work it looked like it was working at the end part but then she went back to the blinking white led. Now the flash version is annoying i cant type in the command, it keeps closing the app i ran it as an administrator and still closed it so now i need to figure out how to type the command in the flash thingy.
Are you able to access the interface from a Desktop/Laptop? Try going to routerlogin.net or 192.168.1.1 in your web browser.
Im on laptop windows 10. I cant login to that router it takes me to my specturm internet an i feel like my specturm modem or router might of messed with my netgear router idk. Probably will return it an get a modem an a new router just for my gaming.
- Unplug the router fully for 10 minutes, you may have experienced a brief power surge/cut, doing so will let residual power drain, then power up, wait 2 minutes and see if it's back to normal
Yeah i already unplugged my main router and modem i reset my main router aswell i didnt wait 10mins i waited 35 seconds. i can try again but my xr500 is a blinking white led or a orange light still.
