N300 WiFi Range Extender Model WN2000RPTv3

Unit was working perfect until I powered it off and back on. Now the Status LED is on Solid Amber and will not change to Green...seems to be locked up and I can't seem to get it back. What do I do?

you've powered it off and back on again without success.

your next step would be to try to reset it. Hold the reset button on the back for 7-10 seconds.  If this doesn't work then you can try a 30/30/30 reset.  That is this:

1. with device powered up hold reset for 30 seconds.

2. power device down for 30 seconds. continuing to hold reset.

3. power it back up for 30 seconds with the reset continued to be held. 

if this doesn't work, next step would be trying to recover it using tftp.  here's how to do that with windows.
