AC1750 Extender Locked Up

All the lights on the front are locked up orange and the arrows are locked up blue. Factory reset does not do anything. Unplugging and plugging back in, same lights come on. Turn off and on same lights come on. Completely locked up. Is there a hard reset combination?

Re: AC1750 Extender Locked Up

You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.  

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP

 

just make sure you enable tftp 

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10

 

and 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.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
