Bricked Nighthawk CAX80

Honestly not sure what happen. Woke up the otherday to the internet not working. None of the lights were on except for all 1 - 4 Ethernet ports and theyre amber. Ive tried seeing if I could reset it but did nothing, my ISP said there side is fine but the router/modem is offline. Ive tried everything I could find online to fix it. Reseting, Manual Firmware updating, leaving it uplugged overnight, etc... Can't figure out what to do at all. I did noticed when I tried doing the manual firmware upload (using TFTP) I dont think my router/modem is even reading my ethernet cord? My pc usually says the ethernet is connected but no internet and its not doing that this time?

Not sure if there is really anything else I can do to try to fix it. I opened a Case with Netgear just hope they can get back to me 😕

      Get in contact with NG support as they will need to help you on this. Ask about an RMA.
