Firmware upgrade of AC1200 (EX6150v2) seems to have bricked device
It is actually a EX6150 v2 but that Model was not available from the drop down
Logged in last night to change my config so the extended network had separate SSIDs from the router (D7000 AC1900) as it regularly stopped the Wifi HP printer connecting to the wifi.
The Netgear software suggested upgrading to the latest firmware (sorry cannot remember what version) which downloaded to 100% and then applied itself to 100% and recycled itself.
Unfortunately it never came back. The power light came back on but no configuration and no way to access. A router reset illuminates the row of Router and client LEDs in pink but once they extinguish only the power light remains on and whether I am in extender mode or Access Point mode I cannot find anyway to access the extender.
It was originally sourced from the BETA program and had worked fine for 6 months or so.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could recover the device?

My beta tester EX6150V2 was also bricked this morning after the attempted firmware update!! Netgear - perhaps this update shall be withdrawn before a mass disaster breaks out!
If the unit is still under warranty I would suggest contacting support.
