Greetings aisorn,
Did you perform the reset procedure in the link schumaku provided?
Wat were the results?
3 possibe causes fo this behavior:
-Corrupt or incomplete FW
-Defective hardware
-Weak or defective power supply
If a reset doesn't work via the reset button, attempt to manually reflash the FW from a machine connected via ethernet. TFTP is built into windows 7/8/10. Please post your progress.

OK. Slow down and do things methodically.
Your first message said:
"only red light power on only"
schumakugave you a link to a Netgear page on this. Did you read it? And what happened when/if you followed the instructions?
Then you said "sometime white light".
Which is it? "only red light" or "sometime white light"?
As shadowsports said, one way out of the hole could be this:
How to upload firmware to a NETGEAR router using Windows TFTP | Answer | NETGEAR Support
But you will have to be a lot clearer about what is going on, what you have tried, and what happened when you tried it.
