There's a forum for those:

That's a bad sign. Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your
model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look
for the LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".

Says who? Determined how? Connecting a voltmeter (only) to a power
adapter is not a rigorous test; you need a realistic load (like, say, an
actual modem+router) for a realistic test.

A bad power adapter could account for that behavior.

First, DOCSIS cable-TV modem(+router) devices don't allow firmware
updates by users. Second, how would you do that if you can't talk to
the thing?

Not I, but I'd start by replacing (or more realistically testing) the
power adapter. What have you that can put out 12VDC at 3.5A (or close)?
