EX6150 AC1200 power light stays amber
My AC1200 no longer has a router link led, client link led, power led green, and WPS led. The power LED stays amber. Is this unit toast?? Thank you

You can try recoving 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 walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

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