so only the power light is on?&nbsp;
Have you tried a factory reset? Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on?&nbsp;
You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash. are you on windows? if so, follow this guidehttps://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTPjust make sure you enable tftp https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9DLrLQrpawand if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflashhttps://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash

try a different power adapter and see if that fixes it. Amber light might mean the power adapter is bad.
