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

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

Thanks. I've tried the solution you provided but LAN port still unable ping to 192.168.1.1. i think the initial system u-boot (kind of bootloader) didn't work. Please see log file attached.

Trying pinging 192.168.1.250 on the RBS.

.1.1 is only for the RBR. 

 

If you can't get in a all or recover the RBS, make contact with NG support and ask about RMA options.
