Bricked AC1200 EX6150
I was told after logging into www.mywifi.ext that I needed to perform a firmware upgrade. This upgrade now has my extender flashing one green light by the power button and no amount of trying to reset it has worked. Any ideas?
Ohh and it is appartly out of warrenty. Is this Netgears new business model, brick your current equipment, tell you there is nothing they can do, and hope you continue buying their products?

Have you held down the reset button for 10+seconds?

I have tried 10 20 30 seconds with no luck. I’m open up to any other ideas.

You may be able to re flash the firmware via tftp I linked a KB on how to do this.
