Nighthawk M2 wifi not working

Hi. My M2 wifi just stopped working.
It has an X through the wifi icon. I didn’t change any settings.
I have factory reset it and still not working.
I can’t connect it to my computer as I don’t have an Ethernet port.
Please help.

        I have the same issue, with the most recent firmware update appearing to cause the issue

        Firmware version NTGX24_10.17.03.00

         

        I've tried to enable and disable IP Passthrough, as well as enable and disable USB tethering, to force the device to enable the wifi again, but like you I have factory reset to no avail, as the wifi appears to be disabled.

         

        Is there a CLI to change a erroneous setting to get this unit working properly again?
