I was in the middle of typing a report when the lights just started blinking and lost connection. Factory reset 8 times. Called tech support and was told firmware issue and Netgear can fix but first I have to give Netgear credit card and purchase a 60$ service agreement.

you could try recovering it using tftp.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp
