Moved EX6150v2 extender, the power is on but will not setup
I recently purchased an EX6150v2 extender, I set it up on one side of the room, but had to move it. So, I plugged it into another wall in the same room. The power light is on but will not setup. I even attempted a factory reset and that didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Only the power light is in and its amber?
Seems like a corrupt firmware issue.
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
