Re: R7450 BOOT PROBLEM

so only the power light is on? 

Have you tried a factory reset? Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on? 

You can try recovering 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

Mine locked up after attempting to update firmware to the latest version ....90 through the app.  Will not factory reset.  Seems bricked.

Re: R7450 BOOT PROBLEM

try a different power adapter and see if that fixes it. Amber light might mean the power adapter is bad.
