What are the leds on it doing? (all of them, color/blinking/solid/etc)
You can try recovering 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
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
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
https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflashWhat error do you get on the nmrpflash setup? theres a faq on their site.
also, is it within warranty?
you could open an RMA cast if it is.
I get the advertising NMRP server and then just disconnects. hard to follow directions on site since most are for routers and not extenders. no longer under warranty
If you can't get tftp/nmrpflash to work, then your device might be bricked. You can try forcing firmware to it through a serial port but that'd require buying parts to do so and finding a guide. not for the faint of heart
