EX6120 stopped working after 6 months
EX6120 stopped working after 6 months. Red lights for both router and device. Updated firmware and reset the device but still not working.
what is the power led doing?
Have you reinstalled with the installation assistant and NOT wps?
Power goes back to orange. Yes have reinstalled using installation assistant.
amber power led indicates a hardware or bootup failure.
You can try recovering 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

and 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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

Here's a video of nmrpflash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxQu3wtpFYoActually I was mistaken. The Power light is not amber it is green. The Router and Device lights are now blank. 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.
