Re: Amber light on power lamp R8500

Normally the power light showing amber color means there is a problem with the way the router booted, may be a firmware problem of some type but something is stopping the router from fully booting up.

Re: Amber light on power lamp R8500

Thank you.
Then, is there any way I can do it?

I bought router is shop in USA in January of 2017.
Want to ask if warranty treatment is possible in Republic of Korea.

The price is very high.
I can't throw this away.

I like Netgear products.
Netgear products have a good quality, so I have no trouble with it.

The product that I use
R8500/R7000/R6220/GS724T/GS108T/GS105E

Thank you
I am very tired.
I tried hard to use the R8500.
But 192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1
Only the orange lamp turns on
It does not blink.
The router is very hot.
It's hot enough to hurt my hands.
It's hot enough to fire up.
I can not turn it on.
I will abandon the R8500
I invested a lot of money on this router.
But I have not used it for a long time.
I'm sad.

I will not use the netgear product.
I will not buy a Netgear product from now on

bye

If it is hot enough to burn you then you have a hardware issue something must have shorted out inside the router I would turn it off ,hard to say what happen the routers hardware just by postings
