WAC720's no longer broadcasting after firmware upgrade on WC7600 controller

For the 2 WAC720 access points, Kindly try the steps below:
1. On the web-GUI of the WC7600, go to Configuration > Wireless > Basic > Wireless.
2. Click on either the 802.11b/bg/ng and 802.11a/na/ac tabs. Is there a check mark on Turn Radio On on both he 802.11b/bg/ng and 802.11a/na/ac tabs?
- If yes, uncheck Turn Radio On then click Apply. Then, check again Turn Radio On and click Apply.
- If no, check Turn Radio On then click Apply.
3. Observe if the WAC720 WiFi LEDs are lit up.
If ever the WiFi LED lights are still off, kindly try to set the 2 WAC720 as standalone access points then observe if the WiFi LEDs will lit up.
For the 2 WNDAP360 access points, I suggest you to open a chat or online case with NETGEAR Support at anytime. The NETGEAR Support Team will help you to recover the WNDAP360 access points. Also, if ever the problem is still the same with the WAC720 access point, they can also help you with it.

Also, were you able to open a chat or online case with NETGEAR Support regarding the recovery procedure of the WNDAP360?

Hi there, I attempted to uncheck and recheck they wireless as recommended. This didn't help.
I haven't yet gotten a chance to revert them to standalone mode, I'm not quite sure how either.
And no everytime I try to open a chat with netgear it says the chat is unavailable.
