Did the unplug thing for 10 mins and reboot, even erase settings.
Put in some config reboot router got the factory reset page again.

- I'd suggest you upgrade to the 3.0 beta and use the TFTP method to do so which will bypass the boot process and any issues there https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP then factory reset after and see if it works
