Power LED stays amber after several hours
My new router can't connect to internet any more. After several hours, WIFI, internet LEDs no light, WPS LED is fine and Power LED stays amber. Try to reset, no luck.
AX1800 WiFi Router
Model:RAX20-100NAS
Would anyone have idea about it? Thanks

The manual reveals the gory details.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual Troubleshoot With the LEDs.
You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
Sadly, you probably have corrupt firmware. Which means that you are in TFTP territory.
If a standard factory reset fails, there is more severe, recovery reset, that you could try:
- Press reset for 30 seconds
- Keep pressing reset while removing power
- Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
If it works, you may be able to use the usual method to flash the firmware again.
Download the latest firmware for your device – or an older version if that is what you want – and read the Release Notes for how to install it.

If that fails, you are into TFTP country.

This also explains how to enable TFTP on a Windows PC.
TFTP isn't the easiest operation, so if you are forced to use it try a web search for videos that guide you through the process.
For example:
Different device, but the approach is the same.
The good news is that TFTP has rescued many a dead device.
