What is the led's at the top doing? (color, solid, blinking, etc)

If the led at the top is blinking white, it means its in factory default mode and needs to be setup.
What do the LEDs on my Orbi router and satellite mean? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Try hardwiring a pc/laptop into the orbi router and going through setup again.

I tried directly connecting to the router using ethernet cable but couldn't connect. So, what is the best way to hard reset or apply the latest firmware? Can I upgrade firmeware using USB?

So, what is the best way to hard reset---sounds like you're already reset. its as simple as pushing and holding reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. or apply the latest firmware?----If you're logged in, thats the easiest way. If you can't get in, then it'd be using tftp or nmrpflash. Can I upgrade firmeware using USB?---No, you can't upgrade over usb.
