amber power led indicates a hardware or bootup failure.&nbsp;
You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash. Are you on Windows? if so, follow this guidehttps://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTPjust make sure you enable tftp https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10and here's a video walkthrough using a TFTP client. Use the built-in one for Windows 10, though. The video is more of an example of how it's done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9DLrLQrpawand if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflashhttps://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash Here's a video of nmrpflash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxQu3wtpFYo

Actually I was mistaken.&nbsp; The Power light is not amber it is green.&nbsp; The Router and Device lights are now blank.&nbsp; This is after firmware update and reset.

Sounds like you successfully reset it then. The device light comes on when you have something connected via wireless and the router light is for when its connected to a router. So you'll want to go back through setup.&nbsp;
