R6220 Stuck in USB
When I power on the device, the Power led goes green for about 5 seconds, goes off and then the USB led stays lit even though nothing is plugged in.
I have found that if I hold the Reset button while the device is powering up, I can get the Power led to stay lit. The problem is, the Wifi and WPS leds alternate flashing constantly when in this mode.
Any ideas?
Here is the link for reflashing the router https://kb.netgear.com/22688/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP

Sounds like the router is not booting up and may be bad frimware or possible hardware would go the frimware as my best bet.
Have you reset the router by chance?

Since no wifi is being brodcast, I cannot update the firmware through any means that I'm aware of.
Yes, I have tried to reset the router using multiple methods including the Reset button and Power button.

Do you have a laptop or desk top computer with a wired lan port you could connect a lan cable between the router on a free lan port the the lan on the computer to access the router if the lan ports are working.
