My rax200 is stuck booting

My router is stuck with the amber light and will not finish powering on, I cannot factory reset it nor can I access anything on it

Re: My rax200 is stuck booting

usually if the power light is amber, it usually indicates a bootup issue or a hardware failure. 

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 walkthrough using a TFTP client. Use the built-in one for Windows 10, though. The video is more of an example of how it's done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash

Here's a video of nmrpflash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxQu3wtpFYo

Try a 30-30-30 reset on the router...
