the power indicator on the router is solid orange and has stayed like that for days
If you mean the power LED, that suggests a problem. It should be solid white. Have you checked that you have the correct power adapter plugged into the router?
Is this what you have tried?
How do I perform a factory reset on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
If you can't get the reset to stick, it may be that your unplugging damaged the electronics. These devices first came out in 2014. so they are getting a bit long in the tooth. This might be an excuse to jump a generation or two and get something newer. No need to splash out loads of cash. You could even got for a refurbished device.
Just another user with time on their hands.
