EX6200 difficulty
I was doing a firmware update tonight. I think this thing is bricked. Upon power on the two network lights are amber and the connectivity arrows are flashing green. I cannot get the factory reset ...
glad to hear it fixed it!

You might be a candidate for a tftp or nmrpflash recovery.
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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
One thing you could tryu before you go down tne TFTP road is the recovery reset.
- Press reset for 30 seconds
- Keep pressing reset while removing power
- Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
If it works, a conventional firmware update may work. If it fails, then, as plemans says, TFTP is your friend.

All great ideas! Thanks for the two tips...will be working on it today and will advise how it turns out.
The recovery reset procedure did not work. The TFTP did. I did a bit of reading through what you sent me...and it all worked as you said.
Kudos...much appreciated.

Well...update. It worked for a few days and now it will not make a connection in the 5.4Ghz range. The light will not come on. When reset it blinks and does it's thing...but then ends up the 2ghz light is the only one that came on green. I have tried the WPA synch twice...no joy.
I tried the basic reset. I can try the factory reset...but have you seen this before?
