    Normally the power light showing amber color means there is a problem with the way the router booted, may be a firmware problem of some type but something is stopping the router from fully booting up.

Thank you.
Then, is there any way I can do it?

I bought router is shop in USA in January of 2017.
Want to ask if warranty treatment is possible in Republic of Korea.

The price is very high.
I can't throw this away.

I like Netgear products.
Netgear products have a good quality, so I have no trouble with it.

The product that I use
R8500/R7000/R6220/GS724T/GS108T/GS105E

      Thank you
      I am very tired.
      I tried hard to use the R8500.
      But 192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1
      Only the orange lamp turns on
      It does not blink.
      The router is very hot.
      It's hot enough to hurt my hands.
      It's hot enough to fire up.
      I can not turn it on.
      I will abandon the R8500
      I invested a lot of money on this router.
      But I have not used it for a long time.
      I'm sad.

      I will not use the netgear product.
      I will not buy a Netgear product from now on

      bye

        If it is hot enough to burn you then you have a hardware issue something must have shorted out inside the router I would turn it off ,hard to say what happen the routers hardware just by postings
