UNbrick RBR50

All, as i'm a newby on this kind of detail and frums be a little patience with me.
also my english is not my native one but Dutch is.

i have as stated a RBR50 with only power light on.

nothing more even network is total dead

i was trying to follow this link to see if i can shed some light on the router what is wrong with it in total. link : https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Is-my-13-month-old-RBR50-bricked/m-p/2009904

so i ordered the 232 USB and connected that to router

i installed tera term on a windows 10 laptop

set the correct parameter for accessing the router

switched router ON to see yes/no boot process

but totally nothing happens or something to see in tera term

Anyone ANY idea what to do

If you've tried everyting in that link and your not getting anything or response from the RBR, the RBR maybe beyond recovery and needs replacing.

Re: UNbrick RBR50

Have you tried another power adaptor or tested it with a multimeter just in case the current one is playing up and not outputting the correct voltage?
