EX6250 | AC1750 mesh extender Issues

Question

My&nbsp;EX6250 | AC1750 mesh extender has completely died after just 2 months of use; and of that 2 months it barely worked.&nbsp; &nbsp; Now all the lights are red, the arrows are blue and it won't allow a reset.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Any ideas?&nbsp; &nbsp;I have tried to plug it into the router in hopes that getting a signal might revive it; I've of course plugged it into my laptop in an attempt to go to mywifiext dot net to resolve it but nothing.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Is there anothe way to reset it vs. the little button where you use a paperclip?&nbsp; &nbsp;Maybe you can hit buttons in some sequence?&nbsp; I'm wondering if the reset button is broken honestly beceause it has no reaction whatsoever.&nbsp;thanks and I have no idea how to return this thing given that the bestbuy return period has ended and Netgear support isn't exactly responsive.&nbsp; thanks

Have you tried a 30/30/30 reset?&nbsp;While powered on, push and hold reset for 30 seconds.&nbsp;Power it off while still holding reset. power off for 30 seconds.&nbsp;Power it back on while still holding reset and leave it powered on for 30 seconds.&nbsp;then let off reset.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, check the switch on the side. It switches it from ap mode to extender mode. If you hardwire it to your router, it needs to be in access point mode.&nbsp;&nbsp;You could potentially also try recoverying it via tftp.&nbsp;are you on windows? if so, follow this guidehttps://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP&nbsp;just make sure you enable tftp&nbsp;https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10&nbsp;and here's a video walk through.&nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9DLrLQrpaw&nbsp;and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflashhttps://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash
