My Netgear R7000 won't start after power outage

I had power issue with my router couple of times do not know why and what was cause. Today I had power outage and router would not switched back on after the restored power. I resolved this by pulling out power adapter from the device and putting it back. Have you ever some of you had something like that? I wondering is it some issue with the router or is it some kind of form of protection from sudden power drop?

    Did it restart after unplugging and replugging? It might have been rebooting and gotten interrupted during bootup with another power surge/failure and got it "stuck". 

    I've seen that happen. Usually killing power or a factory reset fixes it unless something was corrupted.

      Hi 

      Thanks for the reply. Yeah after unplugging and plugging in again has restarted. I recall I was doing something with the fuse and it might cause the problem. I will double-check it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
