Dead orbi after firmware update

[hotshotnz]

Updated Orbi firmware (not sure what release it was as Orbi is now dead), started to update - progress bar showing progress, then PC disconnected as ethernet ports reset. Orbi powered on - no lights, no ethernet, nothing. Reset does nothing (yes, holding reset button in for ages) - completely dead; ethernet ports not active. Any ideas?

Try this:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/SOLVED-Steps-for-debrick-unresponsive-R7000-...

If any of this fails to recover the router, you'll need to contact NG support:

No, dead.

Netgear say that they can't issue RMA because no replacements in stock. Contacted 4 times in past 12 days; ring back after 48 hours is the reply.

Highly unsatisfactory; going to go back to the retailer and replace through them as NG service is a joke

Retail return is valid as well. Good Luck.
