Netgear Nighthawk D8500 Boot Loop

[originalxmun]

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Today, I unplugged my Netgear router in an attempt to restart it after having some connectivity issues. I later learned that it is not that simple with this router, considering the fact that it is now stuck in an infinite boot loop. I have tried the hard reset button, the power button, different wall outlets, and restarting the (Xfinity) modem to no avail. The wifi network will appear on devices for a few seconds before the next reboot. Is there anything that I can try at home before resulting to contacting netgear? Thank you again for your time and any suggestions.

Try doing a full factory reset on it: https://kb.netgear.com/9665/How-do-I-perform-a-factory-reset-on-my-NETGEAR-router

Otherwise will have to call Netgear for assistance or to get an RMA.

So that is my only option? I've already tried the switch, I was hoping there was something I nissed.

If wont boot with a full power cycle that is your next best option.

Anything else you start getting into warranty concerns so better to just through Netgear
